Just curious, why would you want to grow your own laxatives?

The husk is just fibre, which does have a laxative effect, but
fibre also lowers cholesterol reabsorption.

I know people who eat psyllium husk regularly, and I'd like to try
eating the seed. It could also be useful as a thickener (eg. in soups).

But mostly I'm interested because it's an edible plant
which there is a small chance of growing - it'll be good
for biodiversity even if it doesn't produce much.
