| Uses | Therapeutically, the linseed oil is mostly recommended for the external applications only; liiments and lotions.
It is employed in the treatment of scabies and other skin disease in combination with pure flowers of sulphur.
As the linseed oil has an inherent very high ‘iodine value’ it is used mostly in the preparation of non staining ‘Iodine Ointment’ and several other products such as: ‘Cresol with Soap’.
Commercially, it is one of the most important ‘drying oil’; and, therefore, substantially huge amounts are exclusively used for varnishes and paints.
Linseed oil finds its extensive application in the manufacturer of soap, grease, polymer, plasticizer, polish and linoleum.
