Psyllium seed husks are a portion of the seeds of the Plantago Ovata plant native to India and Pakistan, and they have known been known for some time in folk medicine and lore as a valuable aid in treating digestive issues and being used as a source of dietary fiber. It can be used in its natural state, dried, chopped, or even ground into powder for consumption; the state of the husk rarely matters, and it is usually mixed with water or another fluid for consumption. Indeed, Psyllium husks can be found as the main ingredient in a wide variety of over-the-counter laxatives and fiber supplements, and can often provide nearly the same assistance as these products by itself, but at less cost. Old lore and modern medicine both seem to agree that psyllium husks can be useful in relieving constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis disease and diarrhea. It is also used as a nutritional supplement to maintain gastrointestinal regularity. Some research has also shown that they can possibly be of aid in lowering cholesterol or controlling diabetes. This is a 1 lb bag of whole psyllium husks.
