What are psyllium seeds?

Answer 1

They are a plant that is native to India aka fiber. This is often used for people who are constipated, or who have IBS (regulating the stomach so the person is not constipated one day and then has diarrhea the next)

Answer 2

"Psyllium husks are the outer wrapping of a plant native to India. These seed husks have a curious nature. When exposed to water, they swell to 10 times their original size. The seed husk is made up of dense mucilage which has the capacity to absorb huge amounts of water. In case you were wondering, mucilage is a big word for fiber. "
