Chia

• Traditional-use note: Chia appears in herbal sources around clarity and study-routine traditions, often as a traditional preparation. PlantSage presents this as ethnobotanical context, not as medical advice.

  Traditional context only. This reviewed claim keeps the original moderate confidence level, but avoids treatment, disease, dosage, or guaranteed-effect language.

• Chia seeds have been traditionally used in Native American medicine to support digestive health, particularly for alleviating symptoms of indigestion and promoting regularity. The high fiber content helps regulate bowel movements.

  The mechanism is not fully characterised but likely involves the soluble and insoluble fibers which help increase stool bulk and improve gut motility.
