Flaxseed oil contains Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. These oils can naturally reduce inflammation in the body. They lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and the risk of developing heart disease. People with autoimmune disease find these oils benificial since they lower inflammation in the body. You got the reaction you did from this oil because it lowered inflammation in your body. It caused your blood vessels to relax and it lowered your BP. Some people use Omega 3 to manage BP, rather than taking a pharmaceutical medication. The body likes the ratio of Omega 3 and Omega 6 to be 1:2. Flaxseed is 4:1. It would be best to take an Omega 6 oil in addition to Flaxseed, like Sesame Oil or Evening Primrose Oill.

Let me clarify something. Melissa saw the result she did because this particular oil reduced inflammation in her body. Melissa has obvious health disorders relating to inflammation in her body. People can have high blood pressure for many different reasons. Inflammation is not the one and only cause of high blood pressure. Cholesterol is notorious for causing blood vessels to become inflamed. Some vessels just don't tolerate cholesterol and the vessels become irritated. Then there's genetic high blood pressure. My Mother wouldn't find flaxseed helpful. She's a tiny petit woman who weighs 100 lb and her cholesterol is like 160, which is a super great cholesterol level to have. If she got off her BP meds, her BP would jump to 280/150 in a short time. To spite her weight, good cholesterol, and overall good health...she just has a very bad genetic disposition to have high blood pressure. I'm all for alternative therapies, just be careful when exploring such therapies. :) 

     I have heard and read it helps in the digestive system and helps keep it regulated.

Hi,  I've read that too but wasn't sure how well it worked and how much you needed to take to make it all work.  And if it needs to be capsules or the flaxseed you can sprinkle over cereal or in recipes.
