Slippery Elm
Natural approach for Acid Reflux & IBS
🌿 About Slippery Elm
The inner bark of the Slippery Elm tree creates a mucilage (gel-like substance) when mixed with water that coats and instantly soothes the throat, esophagus, and entire GI tract.
✅ Key Benefits
📋 How to Use Slippery Elm
Mix 1 tbsp powder into warm water into a gruel. Drink 30 mins before meals.
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
Can coat the stomach and prevent absorption of other medications. Take 2 hours apart from drugs.
☠️ Overdose & Toxicity Risks
⚠️ What happens if taken in excess:
Very safe herb with low toxicity risk. Excessive consumption may cause nausea due to the mucilage content. The main concern is that high doses taken with medications will prevent their absorption, potentially causing medication failure. Topical overuse can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
