Using flaxseed oil to cure male infertility

Flax is referred to as ‘Linum usitatissimum’, is considered to be part of genus Linum and of the family Linaceae. This seed is being used for ages in traditional medicine to treat heart diseases arising from high cholesterol levels. Following are the benefits offered with the regular usage of flaxseed oil.

• Lignin is present in good amount in flaxseed and can strengthen the immune system to combat irregular cell development. It protects body tissues including the sperm by enhancing its function.
• There are also available essential fatty acids such as Omega 3 & 6 in flaxseed oil. This helps remove saturated fat and trans fat in the form of wastes through the liver. It also increases flow of blood to your reproductive organs, thereby increasing sperm production, quality and count.
• It also has fibre in good amounts essential to regulate spleen in the liver in insulin production. This in turn, helps reduce ‘qi’ imbalance within the spleen and risks associated with blood stagnation. Thus, it normalizes testosterone production and increases sperm count and quality.
• Lecithin or phospholipids (a fat type substance)| is present in flaxseed. It inhibits bad cholesterol level and also is considered to be the major building cell membrane block. It helps safeguard the cells from oxidation which may take place in the brain region. This, in turn, reduces risks of low libido, hormone imbalance and nervous tension.
• Flax seed oil also contains Alpha linolenic acid considered to be crucial to ensure healthy prostate gland. It enhances kidney function, thereby regulating strong ejaculation and sperm production.

But remember, if consumed in large amounts, then it can lead to intestinal blockage. Do drink plenty of liquids and enjoy good health and sperm productivity.
