10 natural vitality tips for a fit gut, clear skin & greater wellbeing

• Rely on freshly ground flaxseeds for an active digestion

Freshly ground flaxseeds swell particularly well and support your gut with valuable fibre. Take two tablespoons in the morning and evening – ideally mixed into yoghurt, muesli or stirred into water. Make sure to drink enough fluids so that the swelling mucilages can fully unfold their effect.

• Use flaxseeds specifically for digestive complaints

For irritable bowel, constipation or bloating, flaxseeds are considered a first‑line option. The mucilages form a protective film over the intestinal mucosa and promote a gentle, natural regulation.

• Discover flaxseed poultices for warmth & relaxation

Warm flaxseed compresses boost circulation and relieve tension associated with coughs, tired eyes, sinusitis or back stiffness. The moist deep heat is especially soothing. Pharmacies offer high‑quality flaxseed fillings for heat pads.

• Care for your skin with high‑quality linseed oil

Linseed (flaxseed) oil supplies valuable omega‑3 fatty acids, has anti‑inflammatory properties and soothes dry, irritated or sensitive skin. Apply a few drops neat or mix the oil into homemade masks and scrubs. Choose cold‑pressed quality for maximum effect.

• Use linseed oil internally for enhanced wellbeing

Two tablespoons of linseed oil daily – neat, in quark or in yoghurt – support cellular health, promote skin regeneration and benefit the cardiovascular system. Combining it with dairy improves absorption of the valuable fatty acids.

• Prepare flaxseed water as a natural beauty drink

As flaxseed water the seeds release their antioxidant effect from within. The drink supports collagen production, aids detoxification and can help prevent skin blemishes and water retention. Perfect as a daily ritual for radiant skin.

• Use DIY flaxseed masks for plump, nourished skin

A mask made from ground flaxseeds and water smooths, soothes and hydrates. Ideal for dry, sensitive or impure skin. Add a little honey or aloe vera to boost the nourishing intensity.

• Choose flaxseed products of tested quality

When buying seeds, oil or capsules opt for certified organic products. Unrefined linseed oil in light‑protected bottles is particularly high quality – and in pharmacies often available at peak freshness.

• Pay attention to correct storage

Flaxseeds and linseed oil are sensitive to light and heat. Always store linseed oil in the fridge and use it within a few weeks. Ground flaxseeds should also be kept cool and dark to avoid oxidation and bitterness.

• Incorporate flaxseeds into your beauty routine

Flaxseeds strengthen the skin barrier, calm redness and support regeneration of dry or mature skin. Pharmacies offer high‑quality creams and serums that use flaxseed extract as a firming, nourishing active – ideal against fine lines, loss of elasticity and tired-looking skin.
