Linseeds (Flax seeds) Dried Herb

Linum usitatissimum

Linseeds are mostly used whole, soaked in water, as a buling agent in mild to moderate constipation. If the seeds are crushed, the beneficial essential fatty acids can also be absorbed by the body.

Small, whole seeds may not be suitable for people with diverticulitis. Avoid in obstructive bowel problems.
