Studio : Natural Wellbeing Publisher : Natural Wellbeing Binding : Health and Beauty Product Description Psyllium husks are a natural fiber from the coating of the seed of the Plantago (Plantain) plant. They are indigestible and absorb water at 8 to 16 times their weight. Consequently, they become soft and bulky as they pass through the intestinal tract. Because they form such a soft mass, they pass through the colon easily, absorbing and clearing potential toxic waste from the system. By absorbing water and softening the stool, Psyllium functions as an effective laxative. However, Psyllium Husks are also an excellent treatment for diarrhea, due to the fact that they can help to firm up loose stool. Psyllium Husks create a sense of fullness in the body. This helps to reduce appetite in people who ingest them, and may help with weight loss. 0
