Psyllium has been the subject of clinical trials which have confirmed the herb?s action as both an anti-diarrheal and as a laxative, promoting the restoration of healthy bowel functioning. Psyllium hulls act like a ?broom,? cleansing the colon and absorbing toxins adhered to intestinal walls.
Psyllium increases available water content within the large intestine, thus increasing the bulk of the stool and making its passage easier, thus helping to relieve hemorrhoids.
