Psyllium is a bulk-forming laxative, which means it works when combined with water to swell and produce bulk in your digestive tract. This reaction stimulates the passage of stool to support regular bowel movements without increasing flatulence. It is also prebiotic, which is vital for healthy probiotic growth in the stomach. You can take Psyllium regularly to maintain digestive health, or use it as needed to alleviate symptoms of constipation.
• Softens stool to prevent constipation complications such as anal fissures and hemorrhoids
• Helps relieve diarrhea as its bulk-forming properties soak up excess water throughout the digestive tract
• May help lower triglyceride levels, protecting against cardiovascular disease
• When combined with a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, it can reduce LDL cholesterol levels. Psyllium also promotes healthy cholesterol when combined with statins
History
Psyllium comes from the seed husks of the Plantago ovata plant, which mainly grows in India's Gujarat and Rajasthan areas. The plant produces approximately 15,000 seeds that look like a cluster of fleas. This imagery is rooted in the etymology of Psyllium, which comes from the Greek word "psulla," meaning flea. Its origins date back centuries as it is frequently used in Ayurveda to remedy constipation.
