Isabghol means a flower that makes you stand strong like a horse. Isabghol is actually a small shrub or grass-like plant whose genus is called Plantago in English. India is the world's number one producer of Isabghol, accounting for 80% of global demand, while the United States is the world's number one importer of Isabghol. Demand for Isabghol is high in Europe and Asia and is growing day by day.
What's so significant in Isabghol?
The special thing is in the peel of its
seed. Since it is a cold and dry plant,
God has created a tremendous force in the outer shell of its seed. That is, the peel of its seeds is full of
natural pure fiber, which is capable of absorbing 14 times more water than
itself. A dry cold area means less water
for the plant. So, the characteristic of
this tiny seed is that it absorbs the water around it and the salts in it in
its skin and stores water naturally and grow.
When man realized this virtue of his, he took off his skin and started using
it which is called Isabghol Husk or Psyllium Husk.
