Slippery elm powder has a long history of use in traditional medicine. The inner bark of the slippery elm (Ulmas rubra) tree is ground into a powder and then typically taken orally.
Slippery elm powder is thought to be beneficial due to its high content of mucilage. Mucilage is a substance that forms a gel when mixed with water. This gel-like substance coats and soothes the digestive tract, making it an ideal natural remedy for digestive issues like heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, constipation and ulcers.
Additionally, slippery elm powder contains anti-inflammatory properties, that may help relieve inflammatory bowel conditions.
Slippery elm can also be added to quinoa or oat porridge; nut, coconut or dairy milk with muesli; stewed fruit and yoghurt.
