The ALA in flax seeds is widely recognized as an effective anti-inflammatory agent, and it is beneficial for calming the inflammation associated with conditions, such as lupus and inflammatory bowel disease. Flax may also help ease the symptoms of autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, and it supports breast, colon and prostate health.
