Slippery Elm
Slippery Elm Soothes the bowel in conditions of inflammation – especially colitis and IBS – irritable bowel syndrome. It is also similarly helpful in other inflammatory bowel conditions such as diverticulitis and diverticulosis. Slippery elm Bark is such a specific remedy for helping these conditions that it is almost a crime that doctors and hospitals don’t make more use of it. It will often soothe the pain of patients suffering with these ailments within a couple of hours. Of course, the cause of the condition must still be dealt with – but the slippery elm is a great herbal ‘tool’ to help deal with the symptoms, while the cause is being sorted out.
