The advice of your expert pharmacist

More than 10 centuries BC, Egyptian doctors were already using psyllium as a laxative and to treat inflammation of the urinary tract. It has also been known for centuries in Europe, Asia and North Africa. In India and China, psyllium was traditionally used to treat diarrhea, hemorrhoids and hypertension.

Psyllium is a bulk laxative. The mucilaginous substances it contains absorb water from food. In the intestines, they then form a "gel" which increases the weight of the stools, improves their consistency. Compared to other bulk laxatives, psyllium is found to be more effective than calcium polycarbophil, methylcellulose, or wheat bran. However, the mucilages of psyllium are contained in the envelope of the seed, and not in the seed itself. Ingesting its seeds can be irritating at the intestinal level and is of no interest compared to the integument powder which alone optimizes the effect of psyllium and gives it all its properties.
