Description Psyllium is a small annual herbaceous plant that grows about 30-46 cm (12-18 in) tall. The plant prefers cool, dry weather for best production and grows best on light, well drained, sandy loams. The plant has well-developed tap root with few fibrous secondary roots. Leaves are opposite, linear or linear lanceolate 1 cm × 19 cm (0.39 in × 7.48 in). The plant consists of numerous, small, and white which later converted into small seedpods. Seeds which are enclosed in these tiny seedpods are small (1.5-2 cm) and brown or reddish-brown colored. Psyllium has been an essential part of Western, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicine for ages, as it is a naturally rich source of fiber. Psyllium is considered to be hygroscopic, a quality to expand and become mucilaginous. Isabgol, the common name in India for P. ovata, comes from the Persian words "isap" and "ghol" that mean horse ear, which is descriptive of the shape of the seed. High levels of soluble fiber and many other beneficial components present in Psyllium are used to cure a lot of diseases. Health Benefits As far as health goes, psyllium husk is a wonderful option for ideal digestive system. For over 70 years, psyllium husk has been the primary source of both soluble and insoluble fiber worldwide and has a long history of use in traditional and herbal medicines. Fiber is key in helping keep you regular and also in aiding your body in getting rid of nasty toxins. Here's why you should include it in your diet: 1. Digestive Problems Psyllium is important to improve the functionality and efficiency of the digestive system by binding with water in the gut. If you are suffering from diarrhea, psyllium can help to bulk up your stool and normalize your bowel movements. If you struggle with constipation issues, it can also help reduce that discomfort, as it can stimulate peristaltic motion and keep your bowels moving smoothly. It can also help reduce straining and inflammation, which can help eliminate hemorrhoids and gastric ulcers.(1) 2. Blood Pressure Psyllium is one of the few compounds that are consistently shown to reduce blood pressure in those who frequently consume it. Although you can't call it a vasodilator, psyllium can certainly ease the tension on blood vessels and arteries of the heart. (2) 3. Heart health Research has shown that regular use of soluble fiber help to manage cholesterol levels. Proper cholesterol regulation is essential for everyone, but vital for people over the age of 50. Research shows that at least six weeks of daily psyllium intake is an effective way for people who are obese or overweight to lower their cholesterol with very few side effects. If you've been told that you need to watch your cholesterol, ask your doctor if adding psyllium to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet will help you.(3) 4. Good for Weight Loss Dietary fiber which is found abundantly in psyllium helps to create the feeling of fullness. That sense of satiety is very important for people looking to cut down on their weight. By preventing between-meal snacking, psyllium supplements can keep your energy levels up without adding on the pounds. Oat bran often consists of psyllium, and is a popular choice as a healthy snack.(4) 5. Treats Hemorrhoids Psyllium seeds contain a huge amount of fiber, so they may soften the stools well. In addition, it provides lots of water, which aids in making bowel movement less painful. 6. Diabetes People with diabetes are constantly watching their diet to maintain a healthy balance of insuli and blood sugar (glucose). Research has suggested that fibers like psyllium can help people maintain a healthy glycemic balance. Research found that taking 5 grams of psyllium twice a day can help patients with type 2 diabetes controls their blood sugar. Another study of people with type 2 diabetes found similar results, but stressed that psyllium therapy should be tailored to the individual. (5) 7. Cure Gallstones To cure gallstones firstly, take 1 tbsp. of psyllium powder and then mix it with a glass of tepid water. Mix them thoroughly and have it twice per day. Follow this remedy regularly until the problem is treated completely. 8. Good for Skin Psyllium helps to get rid of harmful fungi and bacteria in the body that may result in various skin disorders such as acne or pimples. Consume a glass of tepid water mixed with psyllium and honey before going to sleep. This removes toxins from your body, which gives your skin a glow. Honey also moisturizes and softens your skin. 9. Cholesterol Reduction Psyllium can significantly affect the health of the heart by lowering cholesterol. Dietary fiber helps to decreases the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food, preventing it from sticking in the arteries and blood vessels. This helps to reduce the chances of atherosclerosis and the consequent heart issues that can arise. It does not, however, reduce the amounts of good cholesterol (HDL), which keeps your cholesterol levels balanced and healthy. Furthermore, it stimulates the production of bile, which further uses cholesterol. (6) 10. Anti-inflammatory Properties Research has shown the mucilage of psyllium to reduce inflammation in the gut and colon. This is due to the fibrous activity found in this unique mucilage, as it can ease the stress and strain on the colon.(7) 11. Treat Ulcerative Colitis Add 1 tablespoon of ground psyllium seeds to 1 cup of tepid water and then consume the solution before it becomes too thick. Use this remedy every day until this disease is improved. For people not familiar to this treatment, start with half a teaspoon of this powder and then increase the dosage gradually. To prevent constipation, remember to drink plenty of water during the day after using this treatment. 12. Detoxify the Body Although psyllium mucilage is often called a laxative, it is just a highly efficient type of dietary fiber. However, it does effectively detoxify the body, as cleansing out the gastrointestinal system can also be very cleansing and beneficial for overall gut health. (8) 13. Treat Acidity Psyllium husk is a great remedy for acidity. When psyllium husk is consumed, it coats your stomach lining with a great protective layer and thus protects it from the irritation caused due to acidity. Take 2 teaspoons psyllium husk along with 1/2 cup of cold milk after your meals to help to get rid of acidity. |
