Hair problems and weaker vision are common concerns that affect many people. This traditional mixture of linseed oil, lemon, honey and garlic is a simple homemade recipe that many people take daily as part of a diet that supports healthy hair and eyes. It does not require any expensive products.
The mixture abounds in nutrients that the hair and the eyes need, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C and antioxidants.
Some people report that they notice a difference after taking it regularly for a while, but results vary. It is not a replacement for an eye exam or for any treatment recommended by your doctor.
The preparation is easy, and you won’t need many ingredients.
You Need
- 200g of linseed oil
- 4 lemons
- 1 kg of honey
- 3 small cloves of garlic
Method of Preparation
First, clean the garlic well and blend it together with the 4 lemons. Blend them until you get a fine mixture. Then, add the honey and linseed oil and keep on blending. When ready, place the mixture in a jar and store it in the fridge.
Usage
Eat one tablespoon of this mixture 30 minutes before every meal, which makes three tablespoons a day. The traditional advice is to use a wooden spoon. Many people take this combination to support their overall health.
The mixture contains a lot of honey, so people with diabetes, and anyone who takes blood thinners or other medication, should ask their doctor before trying it. Honey should never be given to babies under one year of age.
Benefits of This Recipe
Linseed Oil
It is derived from the highly nutritious flaxseed. It abounds in omega-3 fatty acids, which are associated with better mood and with healthy eyes, hair and skin.
Lemons
They are rich in many healthy nutrients, especially vitamin C, an antioxidant that plays a role in eye health. Also, lemons are used in many traditional hair remedies for the scalp and for dandruff.
Honey
It is rich in nutrients and antioxidants, and it is a favorite ingredient in homemade hair and skin care. As a food, it is a natural source of energy. If you suffer from redness or irritation of the eyes, see an eye doctor rather than relying on home remedies.
Garlic
Garlic is traditionally used in hair care, and some small studies suggest it may support hair growth. It contains copper, sulfur, selenium, vitamin C and other minerals that are beneficial for the hair. Also, garlic is high in sulfur, a nutrient the body uses to produce antioxidants that help protect the lens of the eye.
