Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Dear members, Many thanks to for replying to my various queries thereby enlightening the less knowledgeable member. I would like to know if we can take isabgol (psyllium husk) daily? Is it advisable to take - only in the night? - morning/evening? Should it be taken - with water only - with water + a little suger - with milk - with milk + a little suger - with milk + a pinch of ginger powder? It is mentioned that isabgol does not create dependency, hence can it be taken for longer time e.g. six months/ one year? Will it have some adverse effect on absorption of nutrients (as it will stimulate the intestine to move the digested food)? What is the cause of sluggish movement in stomach/intestine? Is it sluggish liver (Once I had consulted a vaidya, he had told me that my liver was slow)? Will liver tonic " liverex " from Baidyanath correct liver function, and consequently the sluggish movement in stomach/intestine?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Our Intestinal movement should happen naturally. The sluggish movement is nothing but disturbance of normal peristalsis(Movement in intestine) due to food or other habits. You can take Isabgol some times but daily taking will create dependency. You can try 2 glasses of simple warm water and walking which will stimulate parasympathetic nervous system which controls peristalsis. This is my personal experience Thanks Dr. Shinde www.aditiayurved.com _____________ It is mentioned that isabgol does not create dependency, hence can it be taken for longer time e.g. six months/ one year?
