This natural and effective remedy for relieving constipation

The Bottom Line

Psyllium is one of the better-supported natural options for constipation because it adds soluble fiber and helps make stool softer and bulkier.

But it should be used correctly: mix it with plenty of water, drink it promptly, and follow the dosage instructions on the product.

For long-term relief, the most effective approach is usually a combination of fiber, fluids, movement, regular bowel habits, and medical evaluation when symptoms persist or become severe.
