Flaxseed Oil is derived from the
slender flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). First cultivated in
Europe, the plant's brown seeds were regularly used to prepare balms
for inflamed skin and healing slurries for constipation. Today, flaxseeds--also
called linseeds--are best known for the therapeutic oil that is derived
by pressing them. Rich in essential fatty acids, or EFAs, flaxseed oil
has earned a solid reputation for treating a range of ailments, from
heart disease to lupus.
Flax Seed Oil is known for providing
benefits to the circulatory system, immune system, reproductive system,
and the central nervous system. Taken regularly, Flax Seed Oil will
help improve these systems by counteracting low energy, high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, skin problems, arthritis,
and the symptoms of menstruation.
Several scientific studies show that consumption of omega-3 oils leads
to a substantially lower risk of death from coronary heart disease.
Flaxseed oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly a-linolenic
acid, one of the omega-3 fatty acids. Until recently, experts believed
the best sources of omega-3 were
fish oils;
however, Flax Seed Oil contains twice as much omega-3 essential fatty
acids as fish oil products, without the fishy aftertaste.
