Psyllium is a water-soluble, bulk-forming laxative derived from the seed husk of the Plantago Psyllium plant. It has a number of beneficial effects on the digestive system and may be able to prevent heartburn.
Heartburn is a digestive disorder that causes a burning pain in the upper chest. The symptoms of heartburn are often worse when a person is lying down. Suffering from heartburn occasionally is not uncommon. If a person is suffering from heartburn on a regular basis, he should seek the advice of a doctor
Psyllium husk is a soluble fiber that is made up of complex carbohydrates. Psyllium can absorb between eight and 16 times its own weight. This makes it a beneficial form of fiber and a gentle laxative and colon cleanser.
Psyllium husk helps to stimulate peristalsis, which aids transit of the stool through the large intestine. As well as helping to prevent heartburn, psyllium can also aid digestion, relieve inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and help irritable bowel syndrome. Psyllium increases its size between 10 and 20 times as it absorbs water.
