Psyllium seeds contain fibers necessary for proper digestion. Their mild mucus cleanses the intestines of pathogenic substances, absorbing excess bile, toxins and allergens and accelerating intestinal transit, while protecting the intestinal walls from damage. The intestines remain healthy and able to function properly. Regular consumption of psyllium seeds ensures more thorough bowel movements and a reduction in cholesterol levels. The expulsion of black bile and toxins elevates mood, which in turn has a beneficial effect on the circulatory system. According to Hildegard, the art of enjoyment is the best medicine for the heart.
For these reasons, psyllium seeds are used in Hildegard's medicine as an effective remedy for constipation, allergies, depression and in the prevention of heart disease.
