Psyllium is a native plant in Europe, and some part of Africa etc. The Psyllium seed husk contains glycosides and mucilages, and is a great source of water soluble fibre. Such fibre is not digested or absorbed by the small intestine so they can work in the bowels like a sponge, absorbing excess water, and cleansing the waste and toxins. Psyllium Fibre is beneficial for both constipation and diarrhoea. In addition, a diet containing such fibre is considered beneficial for reducing blood cholesterol levels.
