Dried Flaxseeds (Linseeds)
Dried Flaxseeds, also known as linseeds, are known for their benefits in supporting strong bones, nails, and teeth, as well as promoting healthy skin. They are useful for addressing colon issues, certain female disorders, and inflammation. Whole or crushed linseeds can be taken orally to aid in relieving chronic constipation and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, spasmodic colitis, and diverticulitis.
Cosmetic Uses:
Flaxseeds are a popular ingredient in skincare and haircare products. They can be added to face masks, scrubs, and hair treatments for their potential to moisturize, nourish, and strengthen. The omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants in flaxseeds help to support skin elasticity and shine, making them an excellent choice for promoting a healthy, radiant complexion and revitalizing hair.
How to Use:
For skincare, you can incorporate ground flaxseeds into face masks or scrubs to exfoliate and hydrate the skin. In haircare, flaxseed gel can be used as a natural styling product to add shine and reduce frizz.
Safety Precautions:
Flaxseeds are generally safe for most people when used in moderation. If you have any health conditions or are pregnant or lactating, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before use.
