Flax was already used thousand years ago for
making cloth. Much later people realised that Flax has a lot of active
substances, in that time it was a very popular laxative, but today no one used
it for that purpose.
Flaxseed contains a lot of minerals, like
potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, fluorine, iodine, vitamin E and vitamin
B6.I use Flaxseeds for treatment of intestinal diseases, dental enamel and for the proper functioning of the immune system.
Against the closure we can eat one big spoon of
Flaxseeds and then immediately drink 1 or 2 glass of water, after that in
stomach seeds get bloated and start to affect the intestines, which speed up
efficient drainage. Seeds can be put in yogurt or cottage cheese, and of course
drink a lot of water, which is the best thing to do at breakfast.
When I have inflammation of the throat and
strong cough, I do myself scald. I pour 2 spoons of Flaxseeds with 4 decilitres
of boiling water and wait until scald gets lukewarm (around 40 degrees Celsius),
then to improve the taste of it you can add lemon juice and honey. You drink
this through the day.Soaked Flaxseeds (which have been soaked through the night and release mucus) are used for alleviate gastritis and other mucous membrane inflammations. You can used it for losing weight, as we know it contains a lot of potassium, which drains water from the body and is responsible for the proper muscle functioning.
The main mineral constituents of bones are
calcium. Flaxseed contains a lot of calcium (100 grams Flaxseeds have around
250 milligrams of calcium), that means that those seeds are the main supplier with
it. But because it doesn’t contain vitamin D it is important to eat Flaxseeds
with dairy products (yogurt, cottage cheese, Kefir – cultured dairy product).Flaxseed is great to consolidate the tooth enamel. For tooth decay the mayor cause for it is lack of fluoride, but Flaxseed contains maximum of it. To harden tooth enamel, we should just swallow Flaxseeds, but slowly chew them, with that we make a reaction and fluoride incorporate into enamel.
Flaxseed oil contains a lot of healthy fats, that’s why is used for treating prostate cancer. Fatty acids help to prevent that fat doesn’t accumulate in tissues.
Since Flaxseed has so many healing properties, we all should eat it in moderation. In organism will be the most effective, if we while eating seeds, drink a lot of water. On that we should pay particular attention.
