BonPom Slippery Elm Powder 100g

Elm powder.

Elm trees are native to the Appalachian Mountains of eastern North America. American Indians ate the inner bark because it is high in carbohydrates and can be easily digested, and the colonists used it to make pudding, to thicken jelly and as a survival food on long trips. Slippery elm is used to relieve gastrointestinal conditions, sore throats, ulcers, respiratory irritations and coughs, also externally to soothe or soften skin conditions.

For an adult therapeutic dose, dilute one part of the powder to eight parts water; take 5 to 20 ml daily, as needed.

It can also be added to oatmeal or juice.

As a daily nutritional supplement, make an infusion by adding 5 g of powdered bark to 500 ml of boiling water and take three times daily. Serving size 5g (1 teaspoon)
