PSYLLIUM HUSK

 India controls world supply of Isabol, a  natural food that is cooling, soothing, softening, prevents acidity, heart attacks and constipation, and non-addictive to boot. From high-fiber breakfast cereals, breads and ice cream to medicines, isabgol is now a popular ingredient with food product designers.

It is Diuretic, Emollient and Cooling. Used in inflammatory conditions of mucous membranes of gastro intestinal and genitourinary tracts. Very well known as a laxative. It restores proper bowel movements and used in treatment of chronic constipation, amoebic and bucillary  dysentary. Psyllium husk and seeds are formal Pharmacopoeia.  The purely mechanical action of psyllium mucilage absorbs excess water while stimulating normal bowel elimination. Although its main use has been as a laxative, it is more appropriately termed a true dietary fiber.
