History:
Psyllium is an ancient medicinal plant that is gaining importance today due to its effectiveness in treating obesity. Dioscorides mentioned the medicinal benefits of psyllium in ancient times. He recommended it for warm compresses for edema, dislocations, ulcers, gout, and other health problems. Psyllium is also mentioned in the Pharmakopoe Württemberg, published in 1741. There it is recommended for gallbladder problems and sore throats. Indian psyllium has long been used to treat all kinds of mucosal inflammation and irritation. The small seeds of the psyllium plant have enormous swelling power, which makes them a recommended remedy for filling the stomach. Thanks to their high mucilage content, psyllium husks can also regulate digestion. Their gentle stimulation of the metabolism rounds off the spectrum of effects. Psyllium husks are actually several plant species of the plantain family, including a European species that was already known in ancient times. Today, however, it is mainly the Indian species of psyllium husk that is used, which looks very similar to our native ribwort plantain.

These medicinal plants are native to the Mediterranean region and Western Asia. Psyllium is cultivated in Cuba, India, Israel, Japan, Pakistan, Spain, southern Brazil, and Russia.
