Slippery elm powder is made from the inner bark of the slippery elm tree (Ulmus rubra) and is known for its soothing, mucilaginous properties. When mixed with water, the powder turns into a gel-like substance, which can help coat and soothe irritated tissues in the digestive tract, throat, and mucous membranes.
Slippery elm powder is most commonly used for its digestive benefits. It can help with conditions like heartburn, acid reflux, gastritis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by soothing the stomach lining and intestines. It’s also popular for soothing sore throats and dry coughs, as it provides a coating effect that reduces irritation.
To use slippery elm powder, you can make a tea by stirring the powder into warm water, or you can sprinkle it over food or mix it into smoothies. Some people also take it in capsule form.
Beyond digestive and throat health, slippery elm is sometimes used in herbal poultices for skin irritations and wounds due to its anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
