In ancient Ayurveda, healthy bowel movements are a significant sign of good health. That is because it is associated with a functioning digestive system and powerful Agni (digestive fire). Psyllium Husk’s unctuous and soothing qualities support healthy elimination to promote optimal health and vitality.

The literal translation of its Sanskrit name ‘ashwagol’ is ‘horse ear’ referring to the shape of the leaves. Ayurvedic practitioners use its husk to aid digestion and regular bowel movements. That is because it is one of the few plants that contain a varied mix of insoluble and soluble fibers. That means some of its fibers are easily digested while the others pass through the GI tract. Both activities support bowel health, colon health, and gut health.

Psyllium Husk becomes a gel-like substance when you take the supplement with water or milk. Its slippery quality promotes the natural cleansing action inside our gastrointestinal tract.
