Flax Seed Golden Oil

Flaxseed oil, also known as flax oil or linseed oil, is made from flax seeds that have been ground and pressed to release their natural oil. Flaxseed oil are popular among vegans and vegetarians who want a non-animal source of Omega-3 fatty acids. 

Benefits of Flaxseed Oil

  1. High in Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a form of omega-3 fatty acid that is only converted in small amounts to active forms of omega-3, like EPA and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to health and have been associated with benefits like reduced inflammation, improved heart health and protection for the brain against aging.

  1. Treat Constipation and Diarrhea

Flaxseed oil may be effective at treating both constipation and diarrhea. A recent animal study showed that flax seed oil acted as a laxative to promote regularity, all while acting as an antidiarrheal agent. Another study gave 50 constipated patients on hemodialysis either flax seed oil, olive oil or mineral oil. After four weeks, flax seed oil increased the frequency of bowel movements and improved stool consistency. Also, it was found to be as effective as both olive oil and mineral oil.

  1. Improve Skin Health

Flaxseed oil may also help enhance skin health. One small study had 13 women supplements with flax seed oil for 12 weeks. At the end of the study, they experienced improvements in skin smoothness and hydration, while skin sensitivity to irritation and roughness had decreased. A recent animal study showed that flax seed oil had similar positive results. Mice with dermatitis were given flax seed oil for three weeks. The oil was shown to decrease symptoms of atopic dermatitis, such as redness, swelling and itching. However, no studies have looked at the benefits of applying flax seed oil to the skin of people. Nevertheless, there are numerous anecdotal reports of improvements in smoothness and reduced irritation after applying flax seed oil.

How to Use Flaxseed Oil

You can also add one serving (one tablespoon or 15 ml) into smoothies or shakes to add some flax seed oil into your diet with minimal effort. Keep in mind that flax seed oil should not be used for cooking, as it does not have a high smoke point and can form harmful compounds when exposed to high heat. In addition to being used in food, flax seed oil can be applied to the skin to enhance skin health and increase skin moisture. Alternatively, some people use flax seed oil as a hair mask to promote growth and shine. (Source: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/flaxseed-oil-benefits#TOC_TITLE_HDR_6)
