it has been estimated that flax has been grown as a fiber crop for weaving into fabric since the 23rd century B.C.
*Medicinally, the seeds are a valuable demulcent and emollient, with soothing qualities both internally (coughs) and externally (skin irritations)
*The soothing mucilage is obtained by infusing the seeds in water.
*this infusion is valuable in treating irritations and inflammations of the mucus membranes. (lungs,intestines,urinary passages)
*linseed oil expressed from the seeds,also has emollient properties and is applied externally for burns and scalds.
*the seeds also contain a high concentration of fixed oil, which explains the laxitive effect when taken internally.
