Slippery Elm Bark
Slippery Elm Bark is a traditional herbal remedy known for its soothing, coating properties for the throat, stomach, and digestive tract. It contains natural mucilage, which becomes gel-like when mixed with water, helping to calm irritation and support digestive and respiratory health.
Benefits of Slippery Elm Bark may include:
- Soothes sore throat and dry cough
- Supports digestive health
- Helps calm heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach irritation
- Supports gut lining and may help with leaky gut
- Helps with occasional diarrhea or constipation
- Soothes urinary tract irritation
- Gentle and nourishing herb for overall digestive support
Slippery Elm is often used for both upper respiratory irritation and digestive tract support because of its soothing, coating action.
How to Use / Dosage:
-
Capsules: Take 2 capsules 1–3 times daily with water.
-
Powder or Loose Bark Tea: Add 1 teaspoon to warm water, stir and drink. It will thicken slightly as it sits.
- Best taken between meals for digestive support or when throat irritation is present.
Ingredients:
Slippery Elm Bark (Ulmus rubra)
Note: Because Slippery Elm coats the digestive tract, it may slow absorption of medications or supplements. Take medications 1–2 hours before or after taking Slippery Elm.
A wonderful herb to keep on hand for throat care, digestive support, and overall gut health.
