I see that many people on this BB take their flaxseed oil on a daily basis for various ailments and maintenance.
It would be great to hear from you all as to what ailment you started taking it for, how long you have been taking it, what results you have experienced and how long it took to see those results - sort of like a small survey on this very popular product.

Hi,
I have been taking various combinations of EFA's, including flax, borage, and fish oils. I started taking them for my acne and oily skin. I haven't been consistent in taking them (my own fault). When I do take them, I notice a great decrease in the oiliness of my skin (normally extremely shiny and greasy face). If I take them regularly for a longer period of time (1 month), I begin to see improvements in my acne. If I discontinue taking them, it all comes back.
Hope this helps.

I have had a swollen thryoid for many many years and what is worse, it often aches. The flaxseed really keeps the swelling down -- I can even sing loud on the way to work in the car again!
I also take it as a preventative -- I have nodules on my thyroid and there is always a concern that they will become cancerous. The solitary nodule has shrunk on thyroid suppression therapy and now with the flaxseed it's about as small as it can get and still be there.
