The soluble fibres in the bark of slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), also known as “the treasure of Native Americans” supports the organism in case of gastrointestinal irritation, reflux, and respiratory symtoms (e.g. cough).
When admixed to water, the fibres in the bark of the red elm turn into a gel-like substance – a demulcent, which forms a mucin coating on the oesophagal and intestinal wall.
Owing to its high fibre content it is nurturing ‘good’ intestinal bacteria and promoting their growth. It is a useful support both for diarrhoea and constipation.
Moreover, it contains vitamins A, B, C, and K, as well as magnesium, calcium, and sodium.
When administered during the convalescent period after disease, it supports the functioning of the organism.
