Description
Slippery elm bark is a demulcent. This means that it is capable of soothing the lining of the stomach and intestines and reducing irritation. Demulcents are sometimes referred to as mucoprotective agents.

Tea: Pour 2 cups of boiling water over roughly 2 tablespoons of the powder and steep for a few minutes. Add sweetener if you like
Cold Drink: Add 2 tablespoons of slippery elm powder to water or juice. Drink immediately, as it will begin to thicken
Topical application: Mix slippery elm powder with water until a thick paste forms, apply to skin for treatment
Slippery elm is generally safe for most people. However, its mucilage content could decrease medication absorption.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women, people taking medications (especially blood thinners, antibiotics, or diabetes medications), and those with allergies to elm trees should consult a healthcare professional before using slippery elm.
