Proper ways of taking isabgol
I consulted an Ayurvedic doctor for weak digestion and constipation. He gave me isabgol and told me to mix it with warm water and drink immediately otherwise it will get soaked. I'm horribly confused. Whether to let it soak for 10-15 mints like allopathic docs say or just mix with water and drink directly. Please explain in detail. More answers will be appreciated. Suffering from constipation from a week. Help

My dear.  Isabgol known as Psyllium Husk has excellent result for Constipation as it contains fiber.  It has dual amazing effect on gastrointestinal tract......  Controls diarrhoea n frequency of loose stools and it also relieves Constipation. It can b said as a food supplement.  It has few nutritional  effects but its dose should not b more than 15 gms per day.  Or otherwise it may cause deficiency of other nutrients.        It should b No Doubt Soaked for atleast half an hour before taking it.  It should b taken with plenty of water or it might b choked up in the gastrointestinal tract.   Dependency is not much issue but still one can take it continously for a week.  But If constipation is a daily n chronic problem u can take it every morning on empty stomach.  And take your breakfast after 1 hour of isapgol consumption. Hope u got ur answer n cleared ur doubts.
