McDowells Herbal Treatments - Psyllium Husks

Psyllium is a valuable natural supplement for horses, well known for its ability to help manage both constipation and diarrhoea. When ingested, psyllium absorbs water within the digestive tract, forming a gel-like substance that can help soften stools and support easier bowel movements in cases of constipation. Conversely, it can also absorb excess fluid in the gut, adding bulk to the manure and helping to reduce loose stools. Psyllium is often recommended for horses prone to digestive upsets or those needing additional support for healthy gut function and regular bowel movements.
