Psyllium husk is commonly known as Isabgol in India. Isabgol is grown in India and Pakistan. Isabgol is the husk of the seeds of the plant Plantago ovato. Isabgol is hygroscopic in nature and it swells and expands to become mucilaginous.
Psyllium husks/ Isabgol contain both soluble as well as insoluble fiber. It is a mix of 70% soluble and 30% insoluble fiber. Isabgol has a lot of health benefits. Read on to know them.
Isabgol Health Benefits
Here are some health benefits that this super food has to offer.
Relives constipation
The hygroscopic nature of the soluble fiber in Isabgol helps in absorbing moisture and swelling up to form soft stools. The insoluble fiber in Isabgol helps by providing enough roughage to the wastes and Takes it towards the intestine. Together they make the elimination of the waste easy and painless.
If you have severe constipation, add 2 tsp Isabgol in a bowl with 1/ tsp sugar, and add warm milk to it, it will thicken and become sticky, you need to intake this at bedtime. In cases where constipation is not very severe or where stools are passed regularly but are hard, mix 1 tsp Isabgol in warm milk.

Fighting hunger is a big challenge while on a weight loss diet. Isabgol helps in reaching satiety. It makes you feel full. And also helps in cleaning the gut. While on weight loss, the body seems to be producing a lot of waste products due to the fat burning process. The sudden increase in intake of raw foods may be a little heavy on digestion and may cause constipation and flatulence. It is important to clear this waste from the body to remain healthy and feel fit. Taking Isabgol every day will help in weight loss.

Dear Mam, can it also help in reducing bad breath?
Hi ,
no i dont think so … but chewing on corriender leaves and mint leaves does help .
Hi, I love the information you are providing people. Wish I had found this earlier. I suffer from chronic fissures. Already visited the doctor and have improved alot. I am very much into gyming and lost close to 30 kgs in the last 8months. I follow a strict protein diet with vegetables. Water intake is about a litre. I’m guessing my diet is what led to the fissures. My question is how much fibre is present in a tablespoon of isabgol. And because of this diet would like to add isabgol to my everyday routine . So once at night with milk and ghee or should I do it 2 times a day without milk and ghee. Basically going to use it as a fibre supplement to my diet as I’m guessing 30gms is a body daily requirement. I just want to make sure I have healthy bowels and don’t go through the pain of another fissure. I at the moment have naturolax. Do suggest a good brand as well. Will wait for your expert advice. Thanks in advance
Hi Joshua,
1 tsp = 5 gms isabghol and it has 4 gms fiber. you can mix upto 2 tsp of isabghol or max 3 tsp in ypur glass of milk at night. more than this will cause loose motions. and if 30 gms of fiber is your daily requirement , you cant have all 30 gms through supplements . you have to eat natural fiber as well. you havent maentioned your age . if you are below 35 years , than natural fiber is what will save you in the future . and you cant rely on these fiber supplements all your life . so take it for a while and slowly go on increasing natural fiber through fruits , veggies , sprouts and complex carbs n your food and go gradually decrease your supplement.
Dear Sir/Ma,am,

I am impressed by Mm Banka’s response and also there is a column to assist people who are having health challenges relating to stomach.
I also wish to find a solution to my problem. I am having constipation and burning for the last about 4 years. I believe Isabgole is helpful in overcoming it. Now I have tried to take Isabgole at night but it does not suit me and I lose my sleep. The best it suits me is in the morning with warm water before taking tea or in the evening around 4-5 pm, with warm water after which I like to take fruits. Will this help me in overcoming chronic constipation? What is Mm Banka’s advice. I look forward to her response .
Hi Ganesh , normally we advice people to take it at bedtime so that they can clear their bowel in the morning . but if it is not suiting you , you can change the timings as you mentioned , there is no issue .

Hi,
I started taking Isbagol day before night meal. 1 tbsp. in half glass of warm water and had it yesterday and today thrice a day. yesterday early morning was fine but I started developing a lot of gas later and undigested food came out through stool. Later it was not not son bad but gas was off and on. Today morning was perfect but then I had a lot of gas and loose motions. My question is it some toxin elimination reaction, or Isbagol didn’t suit me, or some other reason. Also I take a lot of vitamins and minerals, would taking Isbagol interfere with their absorption?
Thanks
yes .. looking at your case , you should take only 1 tsp of it at night

Hiii mam I am having anal fissures and I am using isabgol since 7 days before that I used cremaffin for loose stools so I became dependant on that now I am using isabgol.how many days I have to use?and I want to know whether isabgol causes dependency or not?if again I stop isabgol is it causes constipation??
Hi Swetha , it depends on the actual reason behind your constipation . if it is less water intake , then drink pleanty water to correct constipation , if it is difficulty in passage , it may be due to less oil intake , have normal fat in your diet , it can be corrected with exercises and high fiber diet . these things do not have dependency .
isabol provides temporary relief , it is not a cure for constipation . so you can take it as and when required to pass motions.

yes you can take. you need to check the food quantity and also avoid too much spicy and masala in food.
mam,
from last 3 years i pass only mucous and only water in stool with foul smell.may it be ibs/ibd had taken very medicines for this .doctor said your intestines work very fast there is always a brain-gut messages which are not working properly in your case. i go to wash room 8-9 times sometimes at a interval of 1 hour and sometimes at interval of 2;5 hours. only opium based medicines are able to make stool.
Hi SURINDER,
Yes this is a rare problem . and only medicines can help . Although you can try taking 1 spoon isabghol in the morning with curd / buttermilk . and see if it helps you.
Payal,
Thanks for patiently answering so many questions. I wanted to ask you about dosage for Cholesterol reduction. I would not want to have milk and ghee because I am trying to stay away from such things as part of my diet.
Do I take this at bedtime or morning or with a meal?
Also, 1 teaspoon would be good with water?
Thanks in advance, you rock!
Hi Ramesh ,
Thanks for aprreciation . yes you can have 1 tsp in the morning and 1 tsp at night with luke warm water.

Hello Payal Mam,

Please guid.
Thanks
hi vinayak ,
i have replied on your other comment you left on one of our other article.
Hello mam,
Thank you for publishing such a great article, kudos to you. I am having anal fisicure and it happens sometime that I get hard stool and I feel severe pain. Will this be OK to treat with isabagol and healthy diet
Hi Parag ,
Thanks . Taking isabghol will help you in various ways. it will soften your stools and will allow easy passage of the waste from anus. hence the pain will be decreased. diet wise , please take only soft fiber or modified fiber. too much raw food and fiber will cause further provocation of fissure, forming hard stools and you may also experience bleeding in severe cases. dont forget to drink plenty of fluids through the day,
Is there also gas occurred in the stomach after intake psyllium husk?
Hi Ashwin ,
no it may be co incidence. Isabghol actually helps in clearing the bowels and all intestinal wastes and odours.
hi mam please suggest me good time for take it and with what????

take it after dinner with 1 glass of warm milk and 1/2 tsp ghee .

Hi Asmita,
yes it mostly works . you can try it and check . first try taking 1 tsp with milk . if it doesnt help increase the quantity to 2 tsp , and then to 3 tsp . dont exceed 3 tsp . you can also take it 2 times , once in the morning and once at bed time
Hello Miss Payal,
Sometimes my stomach gets clear in the morning and sometimes I feel unsatisfied / irritate. I tried lots of remedies but the problem is intact. Pl. suggest what to do?
thanks in advance
have you tried isabghol ? it will really help . you can also try having a glass of milk at bedtime and add 1 tsp ghee to it .
I mam i am 23 year healthy man i am doing regularly exercise but i feel pain under my left rib and i have ibs also will isapgol help
Hii aahiq,m arzaan. I also hv ibs and isabghol works in ibs as m experiencing normal stomach and frequency of toilet is reduced to 1-2 times.
Hi ,
Have you seen a doctor ? the pain colud be because of ibs / gas formation , but its alwas better to ensure the cause . if it is gas , or due to ibs , yes isabghol will surely help .
Hi Ms. Banka,
I have a weak digestion, sometimes stool is not coming everyday.. i am already taking isabgol but i read in one article that it’s not good for the one who has weak digestion and also will cause infertility, is this really true?.
thanks
Hi Kathleen ,
no please dont worry , if you are intaking in limited amount (2-3 tsp /day) nothing will happen . only thing is that once your bowel regu;arizes, you should move on and leave this habit .
Nice blog and attractive information. I like your blog and your work.
Hai mam

Please give a solution for this
Hi Abhilash , yes it works well . but i must ask you to please visit a doctor and get a confirmation on piles … beause if you have piles , youll have to be more careful of what to eat and what to avoid . if you do not have piles , only mere constipations , then a lot of home remedies are there to help you . please see this –

hello mam,
my relatives are taking sat isabgol. kindly tell me is there any difference between Amway’s Nutrilite Fiber and isabgol. is there are lots many side effects of isabgol then fiber. Fiber promotee says that isabgol is not safe. kindly tell me any send me the research of it.
The mentioned product or any other fiber providing product that helps in easing bowel are all refined and processed . ofcourse they are good . but isabgol is the best , most natural cost effective way of regularizing ypur bowel and its safe . do not get carried away with the marketing of such products. ofcourse they are good but that doesnt make isabgol bad. (ofcourse suitability is a factor )
Hey payal,
I’m 24yrs old (F) and weigh 90kgs my height is 5’6.
Somebody told me to take isabgol in olive oil 3times daily. But i’m unsure of the quantities and weather it’s okay or not.
Please help me and suggest any other way to boost weight loss.
Thanks
Hi Fari ,
i am sorry , but i am of an opinion that olive oil and isabghol will not help much in weight loss. weight loss requires a balanced approach of diet and exercises . these will help in permanent weight loss. there are a lot of diet plans and use ful writ ups on dietburrp . a lot of our readers are losing 10 – 12 kgs of weight in 2 months time using these diet charts . these are healthy low cal diet plans. i would rather suggest that you follow one of them .
Mam,
I am suffering problem with loose stools, constipation and also loss in appetite.
This happens from very old days and medicine only provide temporary solution. I m very much upset kindly sugggest
If you have repetitive episodes of loose motions folowed by episodes of constipation , you are probably suffering from IBS. the only way out is to eat a well balanced , fibrous diet and intake ood amount of fluid . isabgol just like medicine can help you in giving momentory relief . follow the procedure of intake mentioned for loose motions , while having loose motion and the procedure mentioned for constipation while having constipation episodes.
Man I have belching problem I’m belch continuos for more than hundreds of time . I have gained 15 kg since last 8 months . My head also become hot sometimes . May I know what problem it is n what should I do ?
Hi Ashu ,
i think you should see a doctor. he would help you better with diagnosis.
I have taken isabgol husk for one year and my digestion was good then I stopped it. After two months I started isabgol husk again due to poor digestion. But it seems that isabgol husk is not working like previously
Hi Surendra ,
what is our age , and exact problem ? if it is slow digestion , you need to work on the reason behind slo or improper digestion to cure this problem . isabghol can only provide you a temporary relief as it is a remedy for symptom but not a sure shot treatment to the cause.
Hi Mam , i was told to take 3 tsp mixed in water , and then plenty more water to lower my cholestorel , to take it for 3 months , is that OK .
Hi Una,
yes it will help .
Hi mama!
What is the best procedure of eating isabghol in water?? Mix in water and drink instantly or leave it for some time so that it can swell??
Hi ,
Use warm water and mix isabghol in that. it swell up in no time . and is more beneficial .
Dear Payal / Team of Doctors ,
I’ve 2 issues which have been bothering me since last few years…
Firstly I get acute sinusitis issue’s during the season’s nov thru jan.. its a terrible pain. I’ve tried allopathic , homeo , ayurvedic on multiple occassions over last few years.. while it gives me relief ( temporary , still the sinus comes back every few mths )
Secondly I get mouth ulcers , and tonsils at back of my tongue almost every single month.. its really bothering as normal life gets disruppted.. I’ve taken lots of allopathic medications but none give permanent solution. There are even side portions of tongue which get cut and make life tough. My doc gives me medicines everytime issue persists but after few days of stopping medicine , ulcers come back.
Pls support.
Regards
Saurabh
Hi Saurabh ,
.
you sinus problem is a completely medical issue. i am afraid i will not be able to help you with it . but as far as your ulcers are concerned, we need to find the roots of the problem. ulcers and side cuts on tongue are very common during vitamin deficiencies . has the doctor run any test on you to find if you are deficient in B12 , or any other vitamin ? this can be solved if you the deficient vitamin and take supplements for it in continuation (for 3 months)

Hi ,
If your constipation problem is solved , you can discontinue it , and take it only on those days when you feel the need. you can also reduce the quantity of intake if your problem comes on and off.
HI,
Have you tried isabgol ? this really works . you can add 3 tsp of isabgol to a glass of warm milk and 1 tsp of ghee. have it at bed time.
Hi mam, iI have problm of acidity and gases.if i eat sumthing then it creates lots of gases in my stomach.how to take isabgol to avoid this?
hi Kailas,
if the acidity and gas is due to constipation , take isabghol with a glass of warm milk at bedtime and it will help . if the acidity and gass is severe, even after the motions are clear, you need to monitor your food habits and check what is going wrong where . if the gap between 2 meals is a lot, it can lead to similar problems.
Thanx for ur rply mam. I dont have problm of constipation.if acidity and gas is not due to constipation then how to take it?
take 1 tsp isabghol with 1 katpri milk after each meal . specially lunch and dinner

prasanta
Hi Prasanta ,
Add 2 tsp Isabgol to 3 tsp curd, mix well and eat it twice a day after eating food. The probiotics in the curd helps in healing and recovering from stomach infections.
Dear…Payal hi, I suffer from chronic IBS constipation for years and visited 5 GI doctors most from india and very disappointed as seem there are nothing to offer from either of them to help me. my situation unfortunately have discomfort that creates anxceity . today my neighbor from India that lives next to me in Las Vegas told me and actually game me samples of SAT-ISABGOL and I’m going to try from tonight to see if life will become easy for me…wonder if you know a magic products that help with stress and anxceity. thanks in advance
Hi Mo,
yes Sat – Isabhol is very effective in symptomatic treatments of IBS . please read the article carefully and consume it accordingly . as the method of intake is different during constipation and different during loose motion . so you would need to adjust the method of intake accordingly.
for stress and anxiety , meditation and pranayam is very very effective in comparison to any product in the world. if you are not already practicing pranayam , i would strongly recommend that you start following it . Also it comes as an unsaid rule , that smoking and alcohol are to be avoided.

Hello Mam
Myself diwakar from rajasthan.
I am doing professional studies.
Last 3-4 months.. I am suffering from accute posterior fissure.
Meanwhile taking medicines and other cures regularly I got relief for few days but.. again after couple of days I experience hard stools.. and suffer again with irritation during bowel
movement. Constipation and non-digestion are main to be cure
How can I take isabgol dosage?
With water or milk..?
At what time..? AND
Should I first dissolve isabgol in fluid or should first take it direct and then drink fluid
Hi Diwakar,
you can take 1.5 tsp isabghol in a bowl , add some warm milk to it and drink it fast , the longer you leave this mix , the thicker the paste will get and it will become difficult to consume. you can add a little sugar for taste. also you can add a little haldi for antibiotic purpose.
take it at night before sleeping/

Madam मै 50 साल का हूँ । मुझे शुरू से ही कब्ज रहती हैं । doctor के अनुसार मुझे Ibs की शिकायत है । पेट पूरी तरह से साफ नहीं होता। शौच का कोई time नहीं है । कहीं सूवह जाना है तो 4 वजे उठ कर पानी पी कर भी साफ नहीं होता।
मै चाहता सूवह उठते ही पेट पूरी तरह से साफ हो जाये।
कभी कभी pressure इतना होता हैं कि शौच रूकती नहीं हैं । पेट मे gas भी रहती है । पेट का altra sound और infection ठीक है । isabgol का कभी फायदा नहीं हुआ ।
कृपया मुझे वताये क्या करू।

5 days ago, I started to take 2 tsp of isabgol in water half an hour before my lunch. On the same day, I started an exercise regime and changed my diet so as to cut out sugar, wheat products and fatty foods, and introduce a little more raw vegetables. I increased my intake of water to 3litres or a little more. I was careful to have the isabgol with at least a litre of water. But somehow, I have been constipated for the 5 days since starting this (whereas before, I had regular bowel movements). Is this normal? Should I stop taking the isabgol?
Many thanks,
Natalia
Hi Natalia,
this is due to the sudden change in your diet . you can stop isabgol as of now , wait for a week and then start taking it again for better results. too many changes at once is not good for the body
Hello madam, My wife age 40 has regular stomach problem last 20 month I consult three doctor(gasterologist) in Surat,Ahmedabad,Mumbai but there is no solution. can Isabgool help us?
Hello sir,
thank you for reading at Dietburrp. isabgol is good for gastric problems. but whether it is suitable for her or no depends on what her physiology states . but there definitely seems no harm in taking it for a day or two and noticing if any positive change occurs. if it does’nt suit, you can stop taking it

Hi Rashi,
please see a doctor, it can be a stomach infection.
Madam, for a long time now i have severe spasmn in the rectal area. This triggers when i have triggered acifity, missed on regular food timings or when I am distressed. In these episodes, i experience on and off constipation, trapping of gas etc., due to trspping of gas i experience severe painful spasm. Is there a permanent relief? Isabgol helps but I feel it is temporary. Is taking isabgol regularly okay? Does it have any side effects. Please let me know so that I csn rid myself of this condition.
Hi Rama,
yes isabgol will help , but it is not a permanent fix to your problem . you must have heaard that prevention is better than cure. so isabgol is a temporary cure for your problem , but yo should look into ways that will help you from preventing this problem. you need to get your food habits analyzed and corrected. drink water in proper quantity and eat enough fiber.
Thank you Madam. Could you pl suggedt a dietician in north bangalore.

Hello Chandrakant ji ,
yes , as mentioned in the article above, isabgol helps in weight loss. but only isabgol is not going to work for good weight loss. you need watch the foo you eat and exercise too . all these healthy lifestyle changes will help in weight loss. eat lots of salad , have 2 glasses of warm water with lemon and 3-4 cups of green tea daily , for better skin and this helps in weight loss too.
Can you refer brand name of Isabgol. There are so many products and hard to know which is best to take and most effective.?
Thank you
Hi Sid ,
Isabgol is one product where branding really doesnt matter , you can still choose between dabar and himalaya

Hi Ravinder,
i understand your frustration. dont worry . you need to regularize your eating habits to get rid of IBS completely. also taking isabgol will be beneficial in regularizing your motions. you need to do some exercises too.

Hi ,\
Thanks for reading at Dietburrp . Gastric problems can be due to stress, bad eating habvits , improper food timings or physiological problem,sm. the key in treating it is to work on the underlying cause . if your problem is stress related , then you would have to wrk on ways to releax your mind and body and get free from frstration , anger and aggression.
if it is food related, you will have tto correct your food timings , food pattern , consume liquids and good amount of fiber.
also exercises like simple walks an certain yoga asans are helpful in treating it.

Hi Leo ,
Thanks for reading at Dietburrp. yes isabgol is recommended for your condition too. you can have it with milk after your meals. also you need to watch your food. avoid too much spicy and hard to digest food. you need to walk for atleast 15 mins after every meal and take a cup of green tea for better digestion and your problem will be solved.
hi maim,

Hi Faizan , yes this will help you in treating constipation. the right way is , post dinner take this 2 tsp isabgol along with a glass of milk

Hi kv,
a lot of fiber supplements are available at medical store as over counter medicines. you can use them , or ask for psyillum husk , which is nothing but isabgol
How do I consume isabgol for weight loss?can i take it on a daily basis? Will it be useful in the morning or at night?my problem is belly fat..
Hi sabina,
as mentioned in the article, for weight loss, Isabgol can be consumed with a glass of warm water and lemon early in the morning or just before your main meals. This will help you reaching satiety (the feeling of fullness) early, and naturally reduce your food intake.
hi…Maam Banka.
the benefits of isabgol was realy vry interesting and helpful.sometimes…i have constipation problem and i used to drink isabgol with fresh water before retiring to bed.i found it to be safe and natural.i prevented myself frm laxatives because of my age and habit forming hazards.when i visited my doctor she strictly told me to discontinue it cos taking it regularly wud becom a habit forming agent in future.my age is 26yrs ,weight 56kg ,height 5 ft 1 h.
i favoured isabgol because it restricts me from over eating and it also helps in weight management.
Hi Swarnali,
i too agree that at this young age you should not make your body dependent on laxatives. isabgol is safe to consume , but restrict its intake to those days when you have constipation. people aged above 40 can consume it on a regular basis too. or those with cholesterol problem can also continue to take isabgol on a regular basis. you should try consuming green tea just before bed and early morning on empty stomach. this trick works for a lot of people who face constipation.
