Soothe Dry Eyes: The Omega Flaxseed Drink Recipe
A simple flaxseed drink rich in omega-3s, for the dry, gritty feeling that builds up through the day.
Dry, gritty eyes are often linked to a lack of healthy fats in the diet — this simple flaxseed drink is a natural way to add more omega-3s to your day.
What you'll need
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 cup water or milk of choice
- A small spoon of honey, optional
How to make it
- Stir the ground flaxseed into the water or milk.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes so the flaxseed starts to soften and release its fiber.
- Stir in honey if you'd like, and drink once daily.
Why people say it works
Flaxseed is one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been studied for their role in supporting tear film quality and reducing dry eye symptoms. It's a simple way to add these healthy fats to a daily routine without fish oil.
This is a home remedy, not a medical treatment. Ground flaxseed is easier for the body to absorb than whole seeds, so grind fresh or buy pre-ground.
