Slippery elm has been used for centuries in traditional Western herbal medicine for its demulcent properties.  For thousands of years, Native Americans peel its inner bark from twigs and branches and use it as a remedy for many common conditions, such as sore throats, wounds and fevers. Slippery elm soothing properties help relieve mild gastrointestinal tract inflammation. Natures Sunshine Slippery Elm is of the highest quality with minimal added excipients.

Each serving of Natures Sunshine Slippery Elm provides the following benefits:

• Support healthy mucous linings of the digestive system- Slippery elm maintains digestive system health and has a long history of traditional use in Western herbal medicine for protecting the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract.
  
  
• Soothes irritated tissues - used to soothe those inflamed tissues. Its mucilage component attracts water to form a gel which has soothing and protective effects throughout the gastrointestinal tract and provides a barrier against gastric acid.
  
  
• Sooth mild cold and flu symptoms - slippery elm is believed to be an antitussive, meaning it’s great for coughs and for symptoms of other upper respiratory ailments like bronchitis or asthma. A study examining the bark’s use in people with laryngitis or throat inflammation and voice problems has also shown some potential soothing effects.

Slippery Elm was also traditionally used to create balms for skin conditions such as wounds, ulcers and dry skin conditions in addition to its digestive soothing benefits. The medicinal properties of this herb can be attributed to its phytochemicals. These polyphenols can scavenge free radicals. They also reduce the levels of inflammatory compounds in the body.
