Ayurveda

Isabgol, also known as psyllium husk, is a natural soluble dietary fibre derived from the outer layer of the seeds of Plantago ovata. Rich in fibre and mucilage, it absorbs water and forms a gel like mass in the intestine, increasing stool bulk and promoting smooth, regular bowel movements. It is widely recognised in both Ayurveda and modern medicine as one of the most commonly used remedies for constipation and for maintaining overall digestive health. In addition to supporting bowel function, controlled intake may help manage cholesterol levels, support heart health, maintain blood sugar balance and promote a feeling of fullness that can assist in weight management. It should always be taken with adequate water and under medical guidance, especially for individuals with gastrointestinal or metabolic conditions.
