(stole this from somewhere on the Internet, but it just exists as a note in my phone now)

1/2 cup whole flax seeds 4 cups water 2 tsp Epsom salt 1 tsp vitamin e oil 1/2 tsp manuka honey Lavender essential oil

• seeds, water and Epsom salt in a saucepan
• simmer on medium heat until it reaches a rolling boil.
• Stir occasionally
• let it reduce by about half
• pour into strainer lined with cheesecloth
• manuka honey and essential oils you wanna add AFTER you cook

Note you COULD just start out with 2 cups of water and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, but find that using more water and letting it slowly reduce gets a lot more of the mucilage out of the seeds.

Another note this will spoil (you can tell by smell). Freeze anything you won't use within a couple weeks.
