Flaxseed oil, derived from flaxseeds, is known for its rich content of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). While omega-3 fatty acids have been extensively studied for their potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation, their specific effects on Bronchitis are not yet well-established. However, some research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may possess anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially aid in mitigating symptoms associated with Bronchitis
A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2010 investigated the effects of Flaxseed oil supplementation on airway inflammation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which involves chronic Bronchitis The study found that individuals who consumed Flaxseed oil experienced a reduction in respiratory symptoms and had decreased levels of certain inflammatory markers, indicating potential anti-inflammatory effects. However, it is important to note that this study focused on COPD rather than acute Bronchitis so its findings may not directly apply.
