Ayurveda is applied now in a variety of ways, including following surgery for abscesses, piles, fissures, and fistulas, among many other conditions. It is referenced in relation to conditions including dyspepsia and constipation.
Its fruit husk is a rich source of dietary fibre, mucilage, starch, carbohydrate, and other nutrients.
It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, antiulcerogenic, wound healing, and many other properties.
Weight loss: In addition to being low in calories, it also provides a great deal of satiety for the body, which helps to reduce weight.
Diabetes: This medicinal plant helps to reduce blood sugar levels, and maintain the body's metabolism.
Constipation and diarrhea: There is mucilage and starch in the plant, which helps to absorb water and form the bulk of the faeces, which aids in constipation and diarrhea.
Dyspepsia: Due to its absorbent nature, Psyllium Husk absorbs extra stomach acids and enzymes, which helps with heartburn and dyspepsia.
Ulcers and stomach infections: It helps to form a layer on the stomach and intestinal flora that can be used to heal stomach and peptic ulcers.
Analgesic and pain: As well as reducing pain, it also reduces inflammation.
