Psyllium
Husk
Other Names:
Plantago psyllium, Plantago ovata
Widely used as a digestive
aid, Psyllium Husk is a substantial source
of fiber. Because Psyllium Husk absorbs
so much water in the body but remains
undigested, it allows for softer and easier
to pass stool that stays intact. Psyllium
Husk does a superior job regulating the
digestive system and can treat both diarrhea
and constipation. It is also said to lower
cholesterol and regulate blood glucose
level.
It is important to recognize that a percentage
of people have a serious allergy to Psyllium
Husk and must check with their doctor
before taking it.
