A Fun Flax Fact

In the 1964 Miss Marple film Murder Most Foul, the marvellous Margaret Rutherford is advised for rheumatism:

“Try rubbing linseed oil and vinegar into it – makes a new woman of me!”

Entertaining and there’s plenty of truth in it! Modern research has shown that flaxseed oil’s anti-inflammatory properties can measurably help make creaking joints more supple when applied topically.

We recommend you take it in food, so it nourishes your whole body from the inside
