Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Flaxseed should be ground to get the full nutritional benefits, I use a coffee grinder to grind them fresh. Flaxseed oil must be mixed with yoghurt or cottage cheese to activate it's healing response.

About a tbsp a day can be your daily fiber requirements from what I have heard. It helps fight against disease and such also - the flax oil.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 I eat about four tablespoons of ground flaxseed daily for it's fiber and other nutritional values, like lignans and essential fatty acids. mjh In a message dated 4/19/03 9:36:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time, herbal remedies writes: flax I would like to take flax to clean out my colon and bought flax seed meal. Can this be used in place of the flax seeds? or is there another kind of flax for this purpose? A naturopath said to take a teaspoon in a small amount of water and drink it before it gets thick, then follow with a full glass of water. The meal doesn't get thick.
