You can also sprinkle it on your evening salad. Use up to 3 tablespoons twice a day. This mixture will provide you with extra fiber and a batch of minerals. Drink plenty of water when using ground up seeds. Flax seeds are astringent and have laxative action. They are good for mild or moderate symptoms of constipation. Using an excess of flax seed can contribute to the back up in your colon. Flax seeds also have small traces of prussic acid, which is toxic in large amounts. But it would take a lot of flax seeds to reach the toxic level. Place between 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of flax seed in 8 oz of warm water and let it sit for one hour. Then just before going to bed, drink the 8 oz. After drinking this glass of flax seed drink another 4-8oz of water. Flax Seed and Apple Cider Vinegar Boil 1 ½ cup of distilled water. Add 1 tablespoon of flax seed and continue boiling the water for 10 minutes - tea will become jelly like. After this cools down add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Drink cup of this combination in the morning and until you get good daily bowel movement. Flax seed contains the essential oil omega 3. If you lack this oil in your diet you will be prone to disease. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is another extremely important food you should include in your daily eating. ACV is high in various minerals and in particular potassium Flax seeds and oat bran To get your bowels moving again, prepare the following mixture. Mix 1 tablespoon of flax seed and 1 tablespoon of oat bran into a glass of distilled water. Let it sit overnight. First thing in the morning, take 2 tablespoons. Wait half an hour before eating anything. Do this every morning until your bowels start moving Flax Seed Oil Our body does not make omega 3 oil and we need to get it in our diet.
