R266.00
Pharma Germania Natural Products Slippery Elm Powder contains powdered inner bark of Ulmus rubra, commonly known as Slippery Elm.
Slippery Elm has a longstanding history of traditional use as a demulcent herb. Its inner bark contains naturally occurring mucilage that absorbs water and develops a soft, slippery consistency when hydrated.
This characteristic makes Slippery Elm particularly useful in traditional herbal preparations intended to soothe irritated mucous membranes, including those lining the digestive and upper respiratory tracts.
It is traditionally used to support digestive comfort, particularly where a soothing and coating botanical is desired, and may also be incorporated into preparations for throat comfort.
Because the powder is naturally mucilaginous, it can be mixed with liquid to form a drink or thicker paste-like preparation. Slippery Elm provides supportive symptomatic care rather than treating the underlying cause of persistent gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Slippery Elm Powder?
Slippery Elm differs from many digestive herbs because its traditional benefits are largely associated with its physical demulcent properties.
When the powdered inner bark comes into contact with water, its mucilage hydrates and forms a smooth consistency. This provides a soothing coating effect over mucous membranes and explains its longstanding traditional use for digestive and throat comfort.
Its powdered form also makes it versatile for incorporating into suitable liquid or soft-food preparations.
