Psyllium seeds are a useful bulking and stool softening agent where constipation and haemorrhoids (piles) are present. The jelly like mucilage produced by the seeds on contact with water helps to absorb toxins within the colon. They are also used for IBS where there may be alternating constipation and diarrhoea, helping to normalise bowel patterns.
It is most important that plenty of water is drunk when taking psyllium seeds. Some authorities state that whole seeds are best avoided by those suffering from diverticulosis.
