PSYLLIUM husks, also called plantago ovata or blond grain mix, are white fibrous materials from the seeds of the psyllium plant ( pix ), which have been used as a traditional herbal medicine in China and India.
Today, health enthusiasts include psyllium husks in their diet for cleaning their gastrointestinal tract and for other health-related benefits.
The unique characteristics of psyllium husks are their bulk-forming properties and slight laxative trait. Hence, they are popularly used as a natural remedy for constipation.
Other than helping bowel movement, psyllium husks assist in removing toxins, harmful chemicals and excessive waste products accumulated in the intestinal tract. This leads to better nutrient absorption and higher energy production.
That's why psyllium husks are commonly used in many health supplements as the base for colon cleansing and detoxification products.
Psyllium husks are also known to be heart-friendly. The cellulose fibre content in psyllium husks is effective in preventing the bad cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream.
Clinical studies have proven that a daily consumption of at least 5g of psyllium husks consecutively for eight weeks would lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) - the bad cholesterol that triggers heart complications.
Psyllium husks are also good for diabetics. Its fibre content helps to stabilise blood sugar content by reducing the release of dietary sugar from the digestive tract into the bloodstream.
