The Psyllium Husk is a herbaceous plant about 10 to 15 cm high and grows in dry and semi-arid places. \n \nMainly the husk that surrounds and covers the seeds of this plant is used, which is where its name comes from in English since husk means husk. Psyllium contains high amounts of water-soluble fibers, hemi-cellulose and mucilage, which are not digested or absorbed by the small intestine, functioning like a sponge. This gives it its great capacity to absorb excess water and cleanse waste and toxins. the intestinal walls. Psyllium is an excellent non-caloric source of soluble fiber (eight times better than oat bran). \n \nPsyllium is used for both constipation and diarrhea \nIt stimulates peristalsis and facilitates intestinal transit. This maintains waste elimination in a healthy and regular manner. \nIt can therefore be used as a laxative without any risk of dependence or toxicity \nIt is considered beneficial for reducing blood cholesterol levels. \n \nIt is used in cases of fungal infections (Mycoses), candidiasis, etc \n \nAs patients with these pathologies must take strong doses of antibiotics and follow a drastic regimen, psyllium is useful to prevent absorption by the body of metabolic waste produced by yeast. \n \nTo survive inside the colon, yeasts produce toxins that can cause various allergic reactions. \nPsyllium is able to absorb these toxins, calm inflamed tissues as well as promote the development of beneficial bacteria in the colon. \nIt is very important that patients affected by candidiasis avoid constipation \nSince all the waste that remains in the colon for too long constitutes a favorable terrain for the development of candida and others. \nTo help, it is very important to take plenty of fiber, and psyllium is the best way to reduce transit time. \n \nIn addition, psyllium is ideal for losing weight due to its ability to absorb up to eight times its volume in water, thus becoming a mass that produces a satiating effect. \nIt is therefore ideal as a complement to weight loss diets, helping to avoid untimely snacking, as well as overeating due to stress or anxiety. It also helps us measure the portions on plates, eating only what is necessary. \nThis mass gently runs through our body like a sponge, helping us eliminate fat from the body as well as prevent its accumulation.

How to use:

The ideal is to take it in the morning on an empty stomach, half an hour before breakfast or before going to bed, two to three hours after the last meal. \nPlace 1 or 2 tablespoons of Psyllium in half a glass of water, stir well and drink with another full glass of water. \nThis will cause the mucilage to form and the gelatinous mass to begin to work. It is advisable to drink plenty of water during the day to achieve the benefits of Psylium
