About Psyllium Husk Extract
Psyllium husk is derived from seeds of the shrub-like Plantago ovata plant that’s most common in India, although it is already grown worldwide. Each plant is said to produce nearly 15,000 tiny and gel-coated seeds. Psyllium husk, a form of soluble fiber that’s sometimes called isphagula, is typically used as a gentle, bulk-forming laxative. When psyllium husk comes in contact with water in the body, it swells and develops into a gelatin-like mass that assists with moving waste through the intestinal tract.
Psyllium Husk Extract has been traditionally use for the treatment of respiratory complaints, including coughs and inflammation. The leaves, applied to an open wound were used to stop bleeding. The fresh leaves are applied whole or bruised in the form of a poultice.The leaves were (and still are) rubbed into insects and nettle stings, or applied to burns and scalds, to afford relief.
