PSYLLIUM
HULLS
[545-9]
Bulk fiber laxative ("colon broom")
Plantago psyllium
Psyllium hulls are an effective mucilaginous, high-fiber bulk laxative.
They are about 70% soluble fiber compared with only 7% for oat bran. High fiber
diets are important in controlling weight, cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
The fiber contributes to a feeling of fullness.
It modulates the absorption of cholesterol and simple sugars.
Psyllium hulls (husks) are the outer covering of the psyllium seed and contain
much more fiber than the seed germ.
They swell in water to 8-14 times their dry volume.
Psyllium is an ideal supplement for the generally poor fiber content of our
"modern" processed diet.
Filling the bowel stimulates peristaltic action to have a movement, in the meantime,
the hulls have also absorb toxic material adhering to the bowel walls. Over
time the cleansing action can lead to improved health.
Drink plenty of water with psyllium and consider also using a stimulating
laxative like cascara sagrada.
