Psyllium husk

- Derived from the seed of of the Plantago Ovata plant

- Is a bulk-forming fiber (insoluble)

- Does not contain artificial colors, preservatives or chemicals

Psyllium husk is very rich in fiber and is popularly used to combat a variety of digestive complaints such as constipation and diarrhoea. It is used extensively in many "Colon Cleansing" programs.

Since it acts primarily by absorbing water and adding more bulk to stools, psyllium encourages the normal peristaltic (contraction) action of the bowels for elimination purposes.

Psyllium offers stool-bulking and stool-softening properties. A stool which is larger, softer and bulkier moves through the intestines more easily and quickly and thus requires less exertion to be expelled. Hence, less force is applied to the intestinal walls.

Psyllium also helps to eliminate toxic substances in the colon, as it acts almost like a sponge to soak them off the intestinal walls before being passed out.

Remedial dosage: 1 tablespoon mix into a glass of water. Maximum 3 times daily. You may add together with 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and/or 1 tbsp raw honey. Drink instantly.

Precaution : Consume at least half an hour before meals or 2 hours after meals. Do drink lots of water the whole day.
