Slippery Elm Powder Better than that Pink Stuff!

in #life9 years ago

Many people suffer from stomach problems, unfortunately almost all the medicine they take suppress the symptoms while actually making the underlying problem worse. One of my favourite herbs for the whole digestive track is Slippery Elm!
The best form of slippery elm is the powdered bark.When I tell my young daughter that we’re going to the herb store to buy Slippery Elm she cheers for joy thats how good it tastes. You can mix the powder with hot water and just slurp it down, you can mix it with your oatmeal, you could even bake it into oatcakes and cookies.
How does it work you may ask. Slippery Elm works in two important ways first it forms a slippery paste that coats your stomach and colon and second it clears mucous from the digestive track. Most people don”t know that when you cough up phlegm you should spit it out because its a waste product and should be expelled while saliva is beneficial to swallow. Another medicine I recommend for heartburn is apple cider vinegar. Stay away from tums! Most peoples heartburn comes from low acid and poor digestion and apple cider vinegar is a quick cure. To make it tasty I mix it with hot water and honey then I sit back and enjoy my hot apple drink.
Thank you for reading I hope you found it informative.
