History of Psyllium Husk

Psyllium has been used for hundreds of years by different cultures for several herbal remedies. It is native to Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean area. Due to its high fiber content psyllium is primarily used as a laxative for constipation, and is the main ingredient in products such as Metamucil. In recent times the United States is one of the largest users of psyllium, mainly for its mucilage which is sold in large amounts to pharmaceutical companies, and as a food thickener.
