Psyllium Husk Powder

from £2.91

Psyllium Husks (Plantago ovata) have been used in traditional herbal medicine for thousands of years, originating in the ancient healing systems of India and Persia before finding their place in Western herbalism - a gentle, reliable fibre that has earned its reputation across centuries.

Known as Isabgol in Ayurvedic tradition, Psyllium was valued as a cooling, soothing remedy - one that works with the body rather than forcing it.

Psyllium husks have a very mild, neutral flavour with a slightly earthy, grain-like quality and no bitterness. They take on the taste of whatever they are mixed with, making them one of the most versatile herbs to work into daily life - easily stirred into water, juice, smoothies, porridge or yoghurt without altering the flavour.

A gentle but effective soluble fibre, Psyllium has traditionally been used to support healthy digestion and natural regularity, potentially easing bloating and digestive discomfort. Its soothing, mucilaginous quality may help to calm and protect the gut lining. Psyllium may also help support healthy cholesterol and balanced blood sugar levels as part of a healthy diet.
