Slippery Elm Powder
Slippery elm is a demulcent, emollient, expectorant, and diuretic. Demulcent means that it is soothing, softening, buffering, and has poison-drawing qualities. It helps to neutralise stomach acids, boost the adrenal glands, draw out impurities, and heal all parts of the body. The mucilage coats the mouth, oesophagus, and gastrointestinal tract with a slick residue. It soothes the inflammation of ulcers in the stomach and duodenum and helps to provide a barrier between the ulcer and stomach acid. It soothes irritations or ulcerations in the stomach and intestines and is good for helping with gastrointestinal conditions.
Slippery elm can help to soothe a sore throat, alleviate the pain of colic or stomach ulcers, and relieve inflammatory bowel conditions. Slippery elm helps with digestion and cleanses the colon. It is particularly helpful for easing a cough and soothing a sore throat as it coats the area and reduces irritation. Slippery elm is a tonic that benefits the adrenal glands, respiratory system, and the gastrointestinal tract. Used topically, slippery elm can relieve minor injuries such as burns, cold sores, razor burns, scrapes, and sunburn. Other things that slippery elm can help with include abscesses, asthma, bronchitis, burns, colitis, constipation, coughs, nappy rash and diarrhoea.
Suggested use: Mix 1 – 2 tsps with warm water to form a paste then add hot water while stirring, or sprinkle 1 level tspn onto breakfast cereal.
Slippery elm is safe when taken at the recommended dosages. It is completely non toxic and has no known drug interactions. However, some people may develop an allergic rash when it is applied to the skin.
