Flax

Flax seeds, from the plant Linum usotatissimum, always known for their emollient and protective properties, flax seeds are very useful for fighting internal inflammation (excellent for example in case of cystitis) or external inflammation at the epidermal level. Another beneficial principle of flax seeds is given by the high percentage of mucilage. These substances of plant origin have a laxative power and are adjuvants in the prevention of constipation. In fact, flaxseeds are among the food supplements against constipation, even if they are not to be considered laxatives, but intestinal emollients that regulate their motility. Due to this property, flaxseeds have a soothing and refreshing action on the intestinal flora and can also be used for prolonged periods without unwanted effects or functional dependencies. Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are also a precious contribution to the health of the entire organism and a valid aid for the correct functioning of the immune system.
