Slippery Elm Bark Powder 100g
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) is a time-honoured herbal remedy derived from the inner bark of the North American Slippery Elm tree. When mixed with water or warm milk, the powder forms a naturally mucilaginous gel rich in complex polysaccharides, which coats and soothes the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. Traditionally used by indigenous North American peoples for centuries, it remains one of the most trusted herbal foods for delicate digestion, nervous stomach, and gentle relaxation.
Key Ingredient
- Slippery Elm Inner Bark (Ulmus rubra) — 100% pure, finely ground inner bark, naturally rich in mucilage polysaccharides, antioxidants, and tannins. The mucilage content swells on contact with water to form a smooth, soothing gel that lines and protects the digestive tract.
Clinical Benefits
- Soothes Delicate Digestion — The mucilage in Slippery Elm bark coats the oesophagus, stomach, and intestinal lining, providing a protective barrier that helps ease discomfort from irritation and sensitivity. It is traditionally used to support those with sensitive or reactive digestive systems.
- Supports Gut Lining Integrity — Slippery Elm has been studied for its prebiotic-like properties. Research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that Slippery Elm-based formulas positively modulated bowel function and gut flora in patients with IBS, supporting the health of the intestinal mucosa.
- Helps Relax & Wind Down — Traditionally prepared as a warm, comforting drink taken before bed, Slippery Elm promotes a calming, grounding effect. Its gentle nourishment supports the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body transition into rest. The warm preparation ritual itself is an established behavioural cue for relaxation.
- Gentle Nourishment for Sensitive Constitutions — Highly digestible and non-irritating, Slippery Elm is often recommended during periods of digestive recovery, convalescence, or for those who struggle to tolerate heavier foods. It provides a gentle source of calories and nutrients in an easily assimilable form.
- Antioxidant Activity — Slippery Elm bark contains antioxidant compounds including beta-sitosterol, catechins, and tannins, which contribute to cellular protection and have demonstrated free radical scavenging activity in vitro.
Suggested Use
Mix 1–2 teaspoons of powder with warm water, milk, or plant-based milk. Stir well until smooth and consume once or twice daily, or as preferred. Can also be prepared as a warm porridge-like drink, sweetened with honey if desired. Best taken in the evening to support relaxation and wind-down before sleep.
