How linen can take care of your hair?

PROPERTIES OF FLAX IN COSMETOLOGY AND MEDICINE

Linen is, of course, a plant, the existence of which was already known by our oldest ancestors. Its properties were marveled at thousands of years ago, slowly testing it in the treatment of rulers. No wonder, then, that the plant is still grown in many countries today – also for its herbal raw materials. Among the most commonly used are, of course, seeds, which can be found on store shelves in the form of flaxseed and flaxseed oil.

Flax seeds have many active ingredients: vitamin E, protein, fiber, flavonoids, phytosterols, magnesium, calcium, enzymes, iron and zinc. Such a unique blend is used particularly readily in natural medicine, becoming the primary ingredient in the treatment of digestive diseases. Properly prepared drinks based on flaxseed, help in constipation, ulcers, improve intestinal peristalsis and are the basis of diet. We have mentioned many times on our blog that flax has been shown to have antibacterial and anti-allergenic properties. No wonder it is used in dermatological disorders, treating serious skin conditions such as burns and bedsores.

The cosmetic industry is also based on these statements, which uses flax in products for dry, sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

They can also be found in professional hair salons, where a number of treatments are used, such as coloring or straightening. As with our skin, flax also moisturises and nourishes our hair, and the oily substance protects it from breakage, reducing the risk of hair loss. It can also be incorporated in your hair care routine in a for of a linen turban.
