There are many recipes for making flaxseed. One of them is to pour one tablespoon of seeds with hot water (less than 200 ml). Then you should cover the cup and leave it overnight. In the morning, drink the resulting drink on an empty stomach along with the grains (by biting them). You can also boil 2 teaspoons of flaxseed seeds in 200 ml of water. The whole process should take at least 15 minutes. Then you should strain the concoction through a strainer, and leave the juice to cool. The drink should be drunk once a day.
