Psyllium (Plantago ovata) is native to India, Pakistan, and Iran. There, it is considered a home remedy for stomach problems such as heartburn and acid reflux. In Germany, the husks are particularly well-known. They are rich in soluble fiber, which can expand up to 50 times its own weight in water. This increases the volume of the intestinal contents and promotes easier bowel movements.

Always drink enough liquid

When taking psyllium husk capsules, it is especially important to drink plenty of fluids. It is recommended to consume at least 150 ml of water per 3 capsules. If you don't drink enough fluids, the mucous membranes cannot swell optimally and, in the worst case, can stick to the intestinal wall. Psyllium combines well with flaxseed, turmeric, or triphala.
