Flax oil is becoming increasingly popular. They are seasoned with salads, added to sauces, drunk for medicinal purposes and used as a cosmetic.
Such an extensive use of oil is explained by valuable biological properties. By the content of unsaturated fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6, which have antioxidant properties, flax oil surpasses all plant sources. In addition to them, it contains a record amount of “vitamin of youth” - tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) and vitamins A and group B.
This unique oil is extracted from flax seeds by cold pressing, so that all its properties reach us unchanged. We advise you not to heat it to avoid the loss of valuable substances.
You can purchase flax oil at a store or pharmacy. Please note that it is packaged in small bottles of dark color with a tight cork. This is due to its photosensitivity and ability to deteriorate quickly when in contact with air. An open bottle of oil should be stored in the refrigerator and used quickly.
For the purpose of treatment, linseed oil is taken orally, as a rule, 1 tablespoon on an empty stomach. We recommend starting with 1 teaspoon to prevent an undesirable reaction from the digestive tract.
Experts recommend combining the traditional treatment of hemorrhoids, colitis, constipation, obesity, atherosclerosis and hypertension with linseed oil. The greatest effect is achieved with a course of treatment for 1.5 months. Then a 3-week break and a new course.
The healing properties of the oil are used for hard-healing wounds and ulcers. To do this, napkins, abundantly moistened with it, are fixed on the affected areas. Wipes need to be updated every 6 hours.
The same properties of the oil are used to treat inflammation of the oral cavity. For example, stomatitis. To do this, take a tablespoon of oil in your mouth and dissolve within 5 minutes. Then spit it out.
The fair sex knows how to use flax oil for weight loss. After a two-month oil cleansing, not only getting rid of extra pounds occurs, but also a wonderful transformation of hair and skin. Weight loss occurs due to the soft effect on the intestines by cleansing it of toxins. The purification technique is very simple. In the morning, you drink 1 tablespoon of oil 10 minutes before breakfast. In the evening - the same 15 minutes after dinner. The recommended starting dose is 1 teaspoon per week.

Masks and creams based on flax oil confidently compete with expensive factory creams. Upon skin contact with oil, active cell regeneration and saturation with unique nutrients take place.
You can also use flaxseed oil for hair. When hair loss, you need to rub it into the scalp to saturate with fatty acids and vitamins. For the treatment of split and brittle curls, use heated linseed oil in half with burdock. The effect will increase from a steam bath for hair during the application of the mask.
A wonderful result is given by vitamin masks. For greasy hair - mixed with grapefruit or eucalyptus oils, and for dry hair - with lavender.
