Description:
Psyllium husk comes from the crushed seeds of the plantago ovata plant.
Psyllium husk is
product mainly for its mucilage content. Psyllium is a natural, water
soluble, gel-reducing fiber which is exraceted from the husks of blond
psyllium seeds ( PLANTAGO OVATA ).
Psyllium is a
soluble fiber used primarily as a gentle bulk forming laxative.
Psyllium husk is derived from these odorless, tasteless seeds. Psyllium
contains up to 70% of soluble and 30% of insoluble fibers.
Applications:
Laxative :
Psyllium husk ( Plnatago ovata ) is generally treated as laxative in
the world market. Laxative are food additives, which stimulate the
bowel movement and facilitates excretory action in case of
constipation. The swelling up of intestine due to bulk-forming laxative
soften and increase the volume of the stools. This then encourages the
bowel move and pushes the stool out.
Weight Control :
Psyllium mucilage absorbs water and expands substantially. In the
stomach, Psyllium expansion produces feeling of fullness. This causes a
decrease in food intake. Psyllium has no harmful chemical side effects;
it is just a herb that is loaded with beneficial soluble fibre.
Diarrhea :
Psyllium used as a bulk-forming agent to help relive mild to moderate
diarrhea. Psyllium soks a significant amount of water in the digestive
tract circumstances, slower to pass.
Hemorrhoids : Psyllium may be recommended by a physician to help soften stool and reduce the pain associated with hemorrhoids.

Psyllium husk have a cholesterol-lowering effect when added to a
low-fat, low-chloesterol dite. Studies have shown psyllium to be quite
effective in lowering levels, which can be helpful to those with high
cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and those at increased risk for
developing hypercholesterolemia.
Diabetes :
