Linum usitatissimum
Flax seeds are a valuable demulcent and emollient, soothing to both internal and external irritation. The soothing mucilage is best obtained by infusing the seeds in water. Flax water can be taken internally to relieve irritations and inflammations of the mucous membranes, particularly of the lungs, intestines, and urinary passages. The ground seeds swell in the gut and stimulate bowel contractions, making them helpful in cases of chronic constipation. The lignans in flax mimic the action of estrogen, promoting hormone balance. Eating flaxseed also boosts brain function and heightens memory due to the seeds’ abundant stores of linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is essential to brain health, as it ensures that the myelin sheaths surrounding brain cells remain lubricated. Because of this, flax seeds are an excellent supplement for those struggling with mental health conditions, such as anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. Flax seeds are also a rich source of Magnesium!

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
