HERB - Flax seed

[Sheron Buchele/Curtis Rowland]

Check with your local health food store.  I get buy flax in 50 pound sacks.
 It is much cheaper than getting it by the pound.  I have been making eye
pillows with flax and herbs for years and carry them on our web page.  They
are great - just don't get them wet.  They get really slimey!
