Psyllium (Sat Isabgol) is a natural source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. The soluble fiber in psyllium becomes a mucilaginous substance when mixed with water that cleanses the GI tract of undigested food, fat, sugars and natural toxins. It helps to maintain healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels already within the normal range. The insoluble fiber in psyllium works as a bulking agent that helps provide a constant volume of solid material in the intestines irrespective of other aspects of the diet or condition of the gut. As such, it helps promote healthy, regular elimination of the bowels.
Isabgol has been described as a gentle laxative, cooling and diuretic and so it is a great home remedy for constipation. It can be taken to supplement a fiber deficient diet. Mix a spoonful of Isabgol with a glass of water, fruit juice or milk and drink it immediately. You can do it upto three times a day depending on what you need. Isabgol is also known as Psyllium husks.
One of the simple most effective and least expensive ways to avoid constipation is regular intake of Isabgol. One spoonful (about 10 grams) of Isabgol twice a day (once in the morning and once at night) will keep your bowel movements smooth and regular. It is very important that you intake plenty of fluids when taking Isabgol.
Isabgol has been used as a laxative for centuries, especially in India to treat constipation. Sat Isabgol is a natural vegetable product that contains the husk of seeds of the plantago ovata, popularly known as isabgol. Sat Isabgol is the perfect natural laxative and has been used for constipation treatments successfully.
