Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi ev eryone! I am a big believer in flax. Flax seed is a highly effective laxative. In order to use it in this way, measure two tablespoons of flax seed(ground) per one cup of water. To grind mine I just use one of those coffee bean grinders. Just pulse a couple of seconds. You just want to break the shells. You will find there is brown and golden. Golden has more protein and less oil. If you use warm water, you can just stir the seeds in and drink the mixture on an empty stomach. I like to do this at night. When purchasing flax oil, make sure it is a high quality oil. It should say cold pressed and should also have a date on the side. I have been using Barleans lignan omega twin (it contains flax and borage oil. I usually order 4 at a time. Thet can be kept in the freezer for a year. I order from vitaminlife.com.(order #705875000185). A few things flax does: Strengthens the immune system,Elevates the level of estrogen in blood,Helps with smoother skin,increased stamina, It has helped keep my eczema at bay, stronger cardiovascular system: clear thinking, just to name a few. My husband and I do both everyday.Flax contains antioxidants(such as vitamins C,E, and betacarotene). Take Care! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
