DIY - Flaxseed Gel

Hey there!

Recently I decided to see if making flaxseed gel was as easy as they said. I happened to be in TJMAXX of all places and found a discounted bag of Golden whole flax seeds (I'm sure you can find some at your supermarket like Walmart, Whole Foods, Target..etc...) and so, I couldn't avoid it anymore.

So, I went home, got

- two cups of water to boil,
- 1/4 cup of flax seeds

and let it boil for about 15 minutes,
stirring until it was viscous, but not sticking to the pan.

Then, I got a stocking cap and strained it with some tongs (I just used the ones I serve salad with...lol)

And then added a few shakes of Peppermint Essential Oil (You can add Vitamin E and any other fragrant essential oils you want).

 And that was it!!


THAT. WAS. IT!

I never knew I could make gel in my kitchen.

And research shows that flaxseeds contain lignans, disease-fighting compounds that may help fight hair loss.

Go figure!! :) :)


Ok, Take care!! 'Til nex' time!
