How to Use Linseed for health:

  • For general health use approx 1 oz/25g/ 2 heaped dessert spoons per day.
  • For the digestion and hormone balance use approx 1 oz/25g/ 2 heaped dessert spoons up to twice a day and drink an extra glass of water with the meal. For hormone balance it is important to use the linseed meal every day.
  • You may start noticing results on the skin, digestion and hormone balance within four days.  Stiff joints, bad backs and long term conditions can take longer to improve.
Comfortable Digestion
Being finely ground and a combination of soluble and insoluble fibre our Linseed Meals helps your gut grow lots of good bacteria. This is soothing, protecting and bulk-forming and gets the digestion working the way nature intended. It helps reducing bloating, controlling yeast, improving slow transits, calming irritable bowel and colitis.
 
Detox
Linseed meal is often used as a detox because it replaces toxin-producing bacteria with good bacteria. Eating linseed daily provides a daily detox.  For a quick fix whole linseeds can help with constipation but for getting the gut to work normally the ground meal is a better option.
 
Ladies of certain age...
(Speaking from personal experience we think this means ladies of all ages!) Linseed’s reputation comes from the husk of the seed being nature’s richest source of lignans which  are mild phytoestrogens that balance hormones during menopause and after the menopause, and even  helps calm and sooth the  symptoms of the monthly cycle.
