All our friends know that we highly recommend including flaxseed in their menu. Especially those who have an irregular stomach and constipation. We recommend consuming it freshly ground, and this is very important because flaxseed goes rancid quickly. With one spoonful of linseed, freshly ground, you can sprinkle the fruits you take during the medical fasting if you are constipated - two spoons is the dose.

But of course, everyone can include it in their menu, because with a small dose, they achieve a huge benefit for their health. First of all, flaxseed helps with problems with the stomach and intestines, especially when there is a focus on chronic inflammation. Because it absorbs toxins, eases the work of the stomach, and cleanses the intestines.

How to use it?

Buy unground, fresh, and keep it dry and cool. When you grind it at home, use it within two hours because - as we said - it goes rancid quickly. If there is any leftover, store it in the refrigerator in a glass jar in a cool, dry place. We grind it so that it can be absorbed more easily by the body and extract the useful substances from it more fully.
