Metal Print : Psyllium, light micrograph
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Psyllium, light micrograph
Polarised light micrograph of ground Psyllium, used as a dietary fiber, which is not absorbed by the small intestine. The purely mechanical action of psyllium mucilage absorbs excess water while stimulating normal bowel elimination. Although its main use has been as a laxative, it is more appropriately termed a true dietary fiber and as such can help reduce the symptoms of both constipation and mild diarrhea. The laxative properties of psyllium are attributed to the fiber absorbing water and subsequently softening the stool. At the same time, this added bulk causes the stool to be better formed, which can reduce symptoms of diarrhea. Magnification: 50x

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing view of Psyllium, captured under polarized light microscopy. Psyllium, known for its remarkable properties as a dietary fiber, is widely recognized for its ability to aid digestion and promote bowel regularity. Unlike other fibers, psyllium is not absorbed by the small intestine but instead works through purely mechanical action. The image beautifully illustrates the intricate structure of ground Psyllium, revealing its unique mucilage that absorbs excess water while stimulating normal bowel elimination. Traditionally used as a laxative, psyllium's true potential lies in its role as a genuine dietary fiber. By absorbing water and softening stool, it effectively alleviates symptoms of both constipation and mild diarrhea. Magnified at 50x, this micrograph highlights the delicate details of this botanical wonder. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns resemble an abstract painting from nature itself. As we delve into the world of botany and medicine with this photograph by Alfred Pasieka from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into how plants like psyllium can offer natural solutions to common health concerns. From reducing cholesterol levels to aiding in conditions like diverticulitis, psyllium proves to be more than just another plant species; it holds immense potential in improving our overall well-being. This image serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and its ability to provide us with remedies rooted in centuries-old wisdom.
