Psyllium

Psyllium is also known by the names Flea Seed and Ispaghula. This Ayurvedic

herb is found in India and Iran, and is also native to the surrounding

Mediterranean region, including Northern Africa and Pakistan. Psyllium is also

cultivated in the southwestern U.S. The name Psyllium is derived from the Greek

word " psylla " , meaning " flea " , referring to the appearance of the tiny

seeds. The genus name Plantago is from " planta " , meaning " sole of the foot " .

The

parts of this plant used medicinally include the seeds and the outer husks of

the seeds. Young leaves of this plant can be eaten in salads. And the ground

seeds can be added to cereal or yogurt. The seeds have been used in Europe

for intestinal health since the 16th century, but didn’t catch on in the U.S.

until the early 1900s. Primarily, Psyllium is a bulk-forming laxative high in

both fiber and mucilage, which is why this herb is commonly found in many

over-the-counter laxative products available today. The primary chemical

constituents of Psyllium include mucilage (arabinoxylan), aucubine, protein,

enzymes, xylose, galactose, oil (linoleic, oleic, palmitic), and starch.

Psyllium

seeds contain 10-30% mucilage. The laxative properties of Psyllium are due to

the swelling of the husk when it comes in contact with water. It passes

through the small intestine undigested, lining the mucus membranes

(demulsifying

and lubricating). The seed husks can absorb about 7-15 times their weight in

water, and their fibrous qualities make them an excellent laxative agent, yet

they also provide intestinal bulk which can help stop diarrhea. This action

forms a gelatinous mass in the bowel, and keeps the feces both hydrated &

soft. The thickened jelly also absorbs toxins and bacteria. The resulting bulk

stimulates a reflex contraction of the walls of the bowel, followed by

emptying. In addition to its traditional & current use for constipation,

Psyllium has

also been used topically to treat various skin irritations, including poison

ivy reactions and insect bites & stings. It has also been used in

traditional herbal systems of China and India to treat hemorrhoids, bladder

problems,

and high blood pressure. Psyllium may also be used to treat irritable bowel

syndrome, and reduce cholesterol & blood sugar levels. Psyllium has also been

used effectively to treat yeast infections. Because Psyllium tends to swell

which contacting water, it can create a feeling of " fullness " in the body,

which can also help curb appetite. The common name Psyllium includes the

species

Plantago psyllium, Plantago arenaria, and Plantago indica, which are used

interchangeably with Plantago ovata.
