Henry Blooms Slippery Elm Bark is a convenient way to settle an acidic or irritated stomach. Available in pleasant tasting powder form, it can alleviate heartburn by coating and soothing the irritated upper gastrointestinal tract and reduces the symptoms of indigestion, constipation and diarrhoea.
Slippery Elm bark powder is a traditional 'mucilaginous' remedy which has a soothing effect on the digestive system and may help to soothe an irritated or unsettled stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Slippery Elm is considered a bulk laxative as the mucilage absorbs water and swells in the intestine, helping to initiate bowel evacuation.
Benefits may include:
Relieves constipation and promotes bowel evacuation
Relieves diarrhoea and reduces loose stools
Reduces stomach acids and soothes gastro-intestinal mucous membranes
Traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to relieve symptoms of heartburn
Vegan and vegetarian friendly.
