Psyllium husk

Psyllium, scientifically referred to as Plantago ovata, has emerged as a significant traditional medicine globally, recognized for its exceptional medicinal properties. Commonly known as isabgol or isabhghula, it is now extensively cultivated in western India. Its agricultural relevance has increased recently due to its diverse applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries worldwide. Morphologically, psyllium is a bushy herb that thrives in sandy, saline soils and is believed to be indigenous to Asia, the Mediterranean region, and North Africa. A natural solution for constipation promotes regular bowel movements by enhancing the digestive system's nutritional processes. It contains natural fibers that are essential for a healthy lifestyle and can alleviate symptoms such as fatigue and energy loss, as well as other serious health issues. Psyllium serves as a gentle laxative, diuretic, and soothing agent, while being safe and anti-acidic. It acts as a bulk-forming laxative, contributing to a reduced risk of heart attacks by lowering serum cholesterol through effective bile acid excretion. Additionally, it aids in the removal of accumulated toxins, chemicals, and excess waste from the body.​
