"Good for the Gut" Hand Blended Herbal Tea

Slippery Elm is a profoundly effective mucilaginous demulcent. When used internally, demulcents like slippery elm have a soothing effect on any irritated mucous membranes they come into contact with, including the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach. This is why you will discover slippery elm as a primary ingredient in some over-the-counter syrups and lozenges that are intended to help calm coughs and moisten irritated, dry throats.

Slippery elm is also good for the gut. This excellent demulcent supports microbiome health. It is made up of branched carbohydrate molecules that are high in polysaccharides-rich mucilage and it reinforces intestinal mucous layers that are both food and home for the beneficial microflora in our gut. This in turn means it also supports bowel health. Mucilaginous herbs like slippery elm help to lubricate the gastrointestinal tract and are a particularly good choice for people with sensitive GI tracts.

Because the demulcent constituents in slippery elm are best extracted with water, tea is an excellent way to imbibe this herbal ally as needed.

Best used 1 hour away from supplements/medications as this may interfere with absorption during this time window.
