Re: FLAX SEED & BORAGE OIL

Greetings All:

I'm new to the forum but thought I'd add my .08 anyway.

I have eczema and I take 2 tablespoons of Omega 3/6/9 (Flax Seed Oil w/ Borage Oil and GLA) everyday. The stuff works! No more eczema break-outs. I actually use Black Soap w/Shea Butter, Queen Helene Cocoa Butter and the 2 tablespoons of Flax. That's my homemade cure. No more topical steriods, antibiotics, Aveeno baths....ya feel me?

The flax (with an omega 3/6/9 combination) also helps with the general condition of the skin (gives you a glow), circulation, and weight maintenance (digestion).

Now, it took me a minute to get used to the taste of the Flax. At first, I actually put it in my yogurt to disguise the taste (it's not NASTY, but i just didn't like it). Now, I can take it straight - holding my breath.

If you have eczema or other skin issues, I urge you to just try it for a month and see if it works for you. Now I'm not all into a healthy lifestyle, but I can answer basic questions. Otherwise, try any privately owned vitamin/ healthfood store for more info.....

HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!
