| Flaxseed |
| Flax is a beautiful plant which many people grow in their flower gardens. It is also a beneficial herb.This tender perennial will grow easily from seed. Flaxseed has multiple benefits ranging from relieving constipation to lowering cholesterol. I would urge you to consider adding this supplement to your diet. It is useful for skin problems, arthritis & the heart. All in all it's a winner! |

| How To Use |
| Probably the easiest way to use flaxseed is to purchase the oil in gelcaps. Just taking 1 gelcap (1000 mg.) daily will be very beneficial to your health. Also available are the flaxseeds themselves which can be added to cereals & baked goods. |
| How To Grow |
| As before mentioned, flax is easy to grow. However in the north it does no winter over consistantly. If you do want to grow your own, gather the seeds after it flowers. Dry & store. Since it is so readily available & isn't expensive you might just want to purchase it & grow the plant just for it's beautiful flowers, which is what I do. |
