Psyllium Husk is basically fiber as it is essentially made up of complex carbohydrates. Psyllium Husk is extracted from Psyllium, a plant. It's the coating around the seed of the Psyllium plant, so it's completely natural. Psyllium seeds are used for other ailments. Psyllium husks are taken and can be converted into powder.
The husk swells when it comes in contact with water. It can absorb anything that is 8-16 times its weight. Its bulky fiber qualities makes it an effective laxative. Psyllium Husk forms a gelatin-like mass in the colon, which keeps the bowels nice and soft. This mass also helps absorbs toxins located in our bowels. The bulky substance formed by Psyllium Husks stimulates peristalsis, which aids constipation. In India, people have been using Psyllium Husk to ease constipation for many years. Europeans have been using it since the 16th century to treat bowel problems. It is only recently that the west has caught up to this, and that Psyllium Husks has become a huge commodity.

Introduction
Psyllium is a low-growing herb native to India, Iran, and Pakistan. It is in the same family as the common Plantain.
Parts Used
Whole Seed.
Typical Preparations
Ground seed, always taken with at least two-thirds cup (approximately 150 ml) of water. If not grinding, soak in warm water for 2 to 6 hours before use. May also be taken as an extract and sometimes as a capsule, though rare.
Precautions
Never take both psyllium and a stimulant laxative (senna, rhubarb, buckthorn, cascara sagrada, frangula, or an over-the-counter stimulant laxative such as Ex-Lax). The fibers in psyllium interfere with absorption of nutrients (especially vitamin B12) and medications, so take psyllium at least 2 hours before or after eating or taking supplements or medications.
