Maximize your health and vitality with this timeless superfood.

Flaxseed oil is a well-known, but easily forgotten substance able to alleviate more than 30 aliments. It has been cultivated and used medicinally for centuries (roughly 7000 years).

In the past decade flaxseeds have made a commanding reappearance on the market. Scientific research has proven countless benefits from adding this one oil to your diet.

Flaxseeds come from a very slender, delicate plant. They are tiny, brown and smooth. The seeds are a rich source of lignans (phytoestrogens) and fiber. Unless finely ground, however, a person will usually pass the whole seed undigested without ever benefiting from them. The best way to reap the rewards from flaxseeds is through consumption of their therapeutic oil that is derived by pressing them.

Why oil?

Taking pure, pressed flaxseed oil can be compared to changing the oil in your car. Cars tend to ride smoother and more efficiently with fresh oil, the same is true for the cells within your body. Our bodies contain necessary oils and fats called lipids. Lipids play vital roles in many cellular processes including energy storage, structural support, protection, and communication.

When a person consumes purely pressed oils they exchange out the compromised existing lipids for new ones that are able to effectively communicate and allow vital metabolic processes. This oil change enables an enormous health exchange.

What is in flaxseed oil that makes it so amazing?

The essential fatty acids (Omega oils) in flaxseed oil are one of its key healing components.

The body needs EFAs to function properly. EFAs work throughout the body to protect cell membranes, keeping them efficient at admitting healthy substances while barring damaging ones.

One of the super star EFAs in flaxseed oil, is lpha-linolenic acid, also known as an omega-3 fatty acid. Omega-3s are only found in plants. Studies have found that omega-3s consistently reduce the risk of heart disease, decrease inflammation, and lessen the severity of numerous other ailments. Unfortunately, the body cannot make EFAs, therefore it is extremely important to supplement with them.

While flaxseed oil is amazing for your health, please be aware that not all oils on the market are created equally. Many of the oils which people are consuming this day and age are actually very harmful for them, including oils that you find in the grocery store.

So what is the key to incredible health? Reducing inflammation.

Ian Clark, Founder of Activation Products, perfectly explains flaxseeds as an anti-inflammatory:

“Modern science believes that inflammation in the body is one of the main causes of just about every illness or disease that we as humans can catch.

Everything from Cancer to heart problems to hemorrhoids to the common cold… and even myself and Andreas [Olympic Gold Medalist] with our digestive issues. That’s all traced back to inflammation in certain parts of the body.
Bottom line – if you can reduce inflammation, you can be healthier. In every way… from less joint pain, to having an easier time climbing stairs or doing physical activities, to losing weight and breathing easier to getting your digestion in order… reducing inflammation is like getting a complete physical makeover.
The Omega 3s inside Flax Seeds IMMEDIATELY go to work seeking out inflammation and oxidization in your body and neutralizing it, bringing everything back to order and alignment.”

The 11 amazing benefits of flaxseed oil

1. Flaxseed oil is an anti-inflammatory working to reduce inflammation and the effects from it

Flaxseed oil has many beneficial properties but research has shown that its anti-inflammatory benefits are the strongest.

By inhibiting inflammatory reactions that cause artery-hardening plaque and poor circulation flaxseed oil may help prevent elevated blood pressure, angina, and heart disease.

Arthritis and joint inflammation can also be greatly reduced. Taken for inflammatory bowel disease, flaxseed oil can help to calm inflammation and repair any intestinal tract damage. This is especially useful to reduce and repair symptoms of Crohn’s Disease. In cases of lupus, flaxseed oil not only reduces inflammation in the joints, skin and kidneys, but also lowers cholesterol levels that may be elevated by the disease.

2. As a cardio tonic, Flaxseed oil is good for the heart.

Heart disease is one of the top three killers in the United States and flaxseed oil may be the remedy.

Because omega-3s lower and control blood pressure as well as cholesterol, there is a significantly reduced risk of heart disease. Taking flaxseed oil may also protect against angina (chest pain) due to restricted blood flow.

Research has also found that flaxseed oil may be useful in preventing a second heart attack because it can counter existing inflammation associated atherosclerosis.

3. Working as a nervine, flaxseed oil calms the nerves

As a nervine flaxseed oil minimizes nerve damage that causes pain and burning as well as other disorders.

The EFAs in flaxseed oil assist in the transmission of nerve impulses, making the oil potentially valuable in treating conditions of numbness and tingling. The oil's nerve-nourishing actions may also help in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, a degenerative disorder of the nervous system.

Flaxseed oil also can help protect against the nerve damage associated with diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

4. Flaxseed oil can significantly relieve painful conditions.

Omega-3 fatty acids can boost the absorption of iodine making it potentially valuable for treating this often painful condition.

Taking flaxseed oil for gout may lessen the often sudden and severe joint pain or swelling that is a symptom of this condition.

The EFAs help reduce pain caused by inflammation such as arthritis pain, muscular pain and lower back pain. Flaxseed oil may prevent painful gallstones from developing and even dissolve existing stones. Iodine is a mineral often found in low levels in women suffering from fibrocystic breasts.

5. The Emollient nature of flaxseed oil softens the skin and alleviates other skin conditions.

The emollient properties of essential fatty acids in flaxseed oil are largely responsible for its skin-healing powers.

Red, itchy patches of eczema, psoriasis and rosacea often respond to the EFA's anti-inflammatory actions and overall skin-soothing properties. Hair problems exacerbated by psoriasis or eczema of the scalp may respond to the skin-revitalizing and anti-inflammatory actions of flaxseed oil as well. Omegas contribute to healthy hair growth and promote shiny hair while low levels of these acids may cause dry and lackluster locks.

Similarly, the oil's EFAs work to nourish dry or brittle nails, stopping them from cracking or splitting. In cases of acne, the EFAs encourage thinning of the oily sebum that clogs pores.

6. Efas Are a demulcent which soothe and relieve irritation

Omega-3 fatty acids appear to limit the inflammatory reaction associated poison oak, poison ivy, and sumac. Sunburned skin may heal faster when treated with the oil as well. EFAs also help soothe intestinal discomfort.

7.
Flaxseed
oil has anti-ageing properties.

Along with flaxseed oil’s emollient properties, EFAs may protect against various effects of ageing on the skin as well, such as sunspots and wrinkles. More importantly, Omega-3s can reduce the risk for advanced age-related macular degeneration.

9. Flaxseed oil helps balance hormones.

For the ladies, the EFAs in flaxseed have been shown to block production of prostaglandins, which when released in excess amounts during menstruation, can cause the heavy bleeding associated with endometriosis. Because they block prostaglandins,

EFAs can also alleviate menstrual cramps. For the gents, the EFAs in flaxseed oil may help to prevent swelling and inflammation of the prostate. They also promote sperm health, which may be of value in treating male infertility, and they can improve blood flow to the penis, thereby reducing impotency.

10. Beneficial to the lungs, flaxseed oil helps clear the air

Omega-3s could prove useful in lung disease to reduce lung inflammation and oxidative stress. Flax seed oil also helps in the formation of fatty acids that reduce the occurrence of asthma attacks.

11. Bonus benefit: flaxseed oil will improve your life.

Aside from the aforementioned conditions, flaxseed oil will make the entire body feel healthier. With better health you will be sure to feel increased vitality, metabolism, and energy.

As a result, one may notice reduced fatigue and mental fogginess. With the reduction of inflammation and chronic conditions, the body will be able to heal. Having the body in a healthy, healing state will also allow for easier and faster weight-loss.

Basically, you will be unstoppable.

There is no question as to why flaxseeds were used 7000 years ago and why they are so popular in the market today. Flaxseeds can be life changing; all you need is to change the oil in your engine. It is so simple to start taking pure, pressed flaxseed oil, why wouldn’t you start today?
