This slippery elm powder is made from the dried & ground inner bark of the Slippery Elm Tree (Ulmus rubra.) It can be used to increase your daily fibre intake & may have a soothing effect on the digestive system. Slippery elm powder is commonly recommended by herbalists & naturopaths to provide relief from sore throats, constipation, diarrhoea & other symptoms of an irritated digestive tract such as bloating. It can be made into a gruel, stirred into a glass of water or made into a soothing tea - see instructions below.

Make slippery elm tea by preparing an infusion of 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of slippery elm powder in 2 cups (500 mL) of boiling water and steeping for three to five minutes.
If taken two to three times daily slippery elm tea may soothe digestive upset or irritation and may relieve symptoms of a sore throat.
