Omega Flax
Omega Flax
, also known as
Linum usitatissimum
, is native to the region extending from the eastern Mediterranean to India and was probably first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent.
Omega Flax
is grown for it's high concentration of Omega-3 oil, a fatty acid essential for human metabolism. Nutritionalists and herbalists often recommend
Omega Flax
during pregnancy due to it's aid in brain function and development. Due to the effect that
has on the brain and nervous system, it is also used to lessen the effects of stress, anxiety and depression.
The
Omega Flax
plant is an erect annual plant with slender stems. The leaves are green and slender. The flowers are pure pale blue with five petals; they can also be bright red. The fruit is a round, dry capsule, containing several glossy brown seeds shaped like an apple pip.
