I used to suffer from regular bouts of bladder infection. I had to take medication that made me a little sick. So, one of my ballet teachers (I owned a school) came by to visit me once when I was ill and she brought with her a large container of distilled water and a bag of flax seed. She said, lets put a stop to this. She recommended that I sit back and relax while she made me a cup of flax seed tea and that I should continue to have 3 or 4 cups of tea each day using pure water, for as long as I had discomfort. Almost immediately, I saw a result of pain subsiding and the irritation of the bladder started to get better. Gradually, I started having less and less problems in this area. I was seeing a Urologist at that time and had been diagnosed as someone with a small opening in that area that leads from the bladder(I can’t spell the term). He said he saw no problem using the remedy. I remember this well because of the beautiful experienced ballet dancer who used home remedy such as this to continue to dance and she had overcome crippling arthritis by removing all the known bad things from her diet. I came on this site to read the recipes for flax seed tea because I just bought a fresh bag of flex seed. I have removed coffee from my morning schedule and thought I might replace the traditional morning drink with flaxseed tea. I suffer from indigestion/GERD. So I thought I would help several things with this tea.

Hello,

According to herbalist Juliette de Bairacli Levy flax seeds need to be soaked overnight and the first water drained to remove a gastro irritant in the outer shell of the seed before using in any recipes, including cooked cereal.

However, for tea crushed/ground flax seeds steeped in hot water is good, normally two teaspoons to a cup of water, drinking 1/2 cup at a time and twice daily to soothe the lining of the oesophagus, stomach and intestines.

Thanks for the post. This really is a great site.

So flax is a lover in the morning and a lover at night! Thanks for your blog– it made me cry in the way only the best things can. Those seeds are expressing themselves in the boiling water as I type.

With heart,

I made this last night for the first time last night while I was having a gallbladder attack and the pain decreased right away for me. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to try this recipe. I will definitely make this again when i have another pain attack at night. Also, after reading other people’s post, I might start incorporate this drink as part of my daily diet because of the fiber it provides.

Thank you so much for this great recipe! I just bought a big package (about 1 pound) of flaxseed. My DH is Type II diabetic & I heard it helps diabetes. Do you know anything about this? I will definitely make this tea anyway, as I have hypo- thyroid & esophageal reflux, & hopefully it will soothe & help these conditions. Your site seems to be what I’ve been searching for as a good source for herbal medicine info & recipes, & I plan to visit often. Blessings, Gina
