Scientific Name: Plantago spp.
AKA: Flea Seed, Ispaghula
Medicinal Properties
Psyllium is primarily used to treat problems with constipation and diarrhea. Psyllium works as a laxative
by their high fiber content. They help to keep a lot of water in the intestines which allows bowel
movements to occur more easily. Psyllium husks can help to relieve the pain of hemorrhoids by causing
the bowel to become softer. This keeps the vein from becoming irritated.
Psyllium helps to treat diarrhea. It allows the body to pass more normal stool. It also helps to regulate the
body when suffering from conditions such as Chrones disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Psyllium
helps to relieve stomach discomfort from ulcers and indigestion. Psyllium husks can be made into a
poultice to be used externally. This poultice will help to treat skin infections such as boils.
Magickal Properties
Did You Know? (Background)
Psyllium is a common plant in Europe, Asia, and the northern part of the African continent. It has been
used for centuries as a powerful laxative. Because they have such a high fiber content, the seeds swell
when they come in contact with water. This causes them to help move food through the intestines
effectively. The seeds are very small and dark in color. They look like fleas and have given the nickname
flea seed because of this appearance.
While the seeds are useful for treating constipation, the husks are also beneficial. They're used to treat
hemorrhoids and boils. Oddly enough, while Psyllium works as a laxative, it also works to treat diarrhea.
Its effect seems to be to get the intestines to function properly all around.
Safety
Take with plenty of water. Do not take more than the recommended dose
