I've been having sabja seeds water now and then to help with heat, urinary infections, and keeping my stomach clean. I'm curious if it's okay to just drink the water straight without chewing the seeds. Like, does my body really absorb it that way? Will it still work and give the benefits if I don't chew the seeds?

Drinking sabja seeds water without chewing is not recommended, as the seeds' nutritional benefits and gel-like properties are activated when chewed or soaked in water, allowing the seeds to release their mucilage, which aids digestion and provides other benefits.
