Description

A universal herbal remedy that has earned centuries-old recognition. Collect poisons and toxins and remove them from the body, improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and normalize metabolism. Flax seeds have long been used to treat obesity and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It was valued for its taste and nutritional properties, and in its ground form it was added to flour, cereals and soups. Modern research proves that flax seeds are an active sorbent, which significantly exceeds the effect of the well-known activated carbon. Decoction of flax seed enhances the formation of digestive juices and pancreatic secretions. At the same time, it normalizes the production of insulin and helps to lower blood sugar levels. Flax seeds are an excellent source of plant fiber and protein. When applied orally, the gastrointestinal tract is enveloped in mucus secreted by them, which is especially useful for ulcers, gastritis and other inflammatory processes. Due to its high mucus content, flaxseed protects the inflamed mucosa of the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract from irritation, and reduces the absorption of toxins. In the large intestine, flax seeds swell and loosen the feces, making it easier to remove undigested food residues. This has a positive effect on constipation and obesity. The advantage of flax seeds over artificial sorbents is that they do not destroy the body’s cells, but act carefully and physiologically. Very important is the ability of flax to make up for the lack of selenium. Selenium protects a person from the appearance of free radicals-dangerous particles that cause tumor diseases. Selenium is best absorbed in protein form – this is what flax accumulates during growth. There is also a more common ionic form, but its entry into the body is fraught with a rapid overdose. In protein form, selenium is absorbed only in the amount that the body needs. Flax seeds can be used both internally and as cosmetic masks. Under the influence of natural biologically active substances of flax, the complexion is noticeably improved and the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized.
