Flaxseed may reduce blood pressure, early findings show

By Shereen Jegtvig NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Eating a bit of flaxseed each day might help lower high blood pressure, a new study suggests. Researchers said it's too early to swap out blood pressure medication for the fiber-filled seeds just yet. But if future studies confirm the new results, flax might be a cheap way to treat high blood pressure, they added. But so far, its effect on high blood pressure, or hypertension, has been better studied among animals than humans.
