Review: Soothes the Digestive Tract - Exceptional Quality and value. Originally, I purchased The Starwest Botanicals Organic Slippery Elm Bark Powder, (Ulmus rubra), to use as a thickener for food I prepare. It definitely serves very well as a thickener. However, I also discovered that Slippery Elm Bark Powder is also very soothing to the lining of the digestive tract. During a google search, I learned that Slippery Elm Bark Powder contains antioxidants that specifically sooth the stomach and reduces inflammation which is at the heart of many health issues. Slippery Elm Powder also supports better digestion and benefits colon evacuation. As sometimes happens, I discontinued using the slippery elm bark on a regular basis for a while. Recently, I noticed that my stomach distress was almost non-stop from one meal to the next. Drinking Aloe Juice didn't seem to give me much relief. Then the light bulb went on and I started mixing Slippery Elm Bark Powder in my foods once again earlier this week. To my surprise and delight, the stomach distress dropped dramatically! I am now a Believer and plan to use Slippery Elm Powder every day to support my finicky stomach. For individuals who take medication, it's best to consume the Slippery Elm Powder several hours after taking medication so that you get the maximum benefit of your medication as well as the health benefits of the Slippery Elm Powder. Starwest Botanicals Organic Slippery Elm Bark Powder is packaged in a generous 1 lb. size. which is an excellent value. The Slippery Elm Powder has a pleasant smell and is nearly tasteless when eaten alone. It doesn't alter the flavor of any food in which it is mixed. In my opinion, Starwest Botanicals has the best quality Organic Slippery Elm Bark Powder available at a fair price. When speaking with one of Starwest Botanicals representatives, I was informed that none of their organic products are irradiated if that's as important to you as it is to me.
Review: Great price for such a large bag - I use slippery elm whenever I begin showing symptoms of a cold. Most people use that OTC med Muc…x, but I prefer something natural. A teaspoon of this in a cup of tea and I am well on my way to getting rid of all that clogged up mucus. Remember to drink a lot of non-caffeine beverages to stay hydrated or it won’t work the way you need it to. Your body needs to be hydrated to be able to thin secretions and caffeine is dehydrating. This is a great product from an excellent company. It is easy to use, you don’t notice it because there is no flavor, it will alleviate your symptoms and you will be feeling better much more quickly! It works well! Price is good as compared to some of the competitors out there.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone please tell me the ingredients and whether they had any success giving it to a cat? thanks**
A: It is called slippery bark (SEB) because it is ground up slippery elm bark. Slippery elm is a type of tree and if I am not mistaken, the product is made from the inner bark. That's it, just slippery elm bark. No calories, no vitamins, no minerals or nutrients of any kind. It is 100% fiber. I don't know about giving it to a cat but I have a cat (very old, has kidney trouble and throws up a lot) and some SEB so maybe I will give him some and see if he gets better or worse.

**Q: is this the same as marshmallow root?**
A: No, they are an entirely different plant. Here's some info on Marshmallow Root:Marshmallow is a plant. The leaves and the root are used to make medicine. Don't confuse marshmallow with the mallow (Malva sylvestris) flower and leaf.Marshmallow leaf and root are used for pain and swelling (inflammation) of the mucous membranes that line the respiratory tract. They are also used for dry cough, inflammation of the lining of the stomach, diarrhea, stomach ulcers, constipation, urinary tract inflammation, and stones in the urinary tract.

**Q: hello slippery elm users!  :-)  after reading many reviews, Im sorry to say I still confused as to the mixing/steeping and drinking this as a 'tea'?**
A: Hi Trishia. I've used this in the treatment of gut health. Learned of it through Dr. Pagano's book, Healing Psoriasis Naturally. What I do: Bring one cup of water to a boil on the stovetop. Add 1 tsp slippery elm bark powder to the pan, stir, cover and turn burner to LOW to simmer. Set a timer for 10-15 min. When timer goes off, transfer to a coffee mug and sip. Be careful, it'l be hot. It does take some getting used to with it's gelatinous-type texture, but honestly not too bad. You can add cinnamon, honey, stevia, whatever helps you sip it better. Some say to gargle before swallowing (good for sore throat). Because this coats your stomach, other supplements taken at the same time may not be absorbed as well, so take some time to space the ingestion of those with this. Also good to do this 1/2 hour before eating breakfast.

**Q: Can anyone who recently bought some vouch for the quality?  I'm looking for a fine grind, not coarse. Is there a seller preference?**
A: I have recently purchased and found it is fine powder, but gritty and I must boil it for it to get dark brown and slimy. If I do not let it boil long enough it is starchy. Purchased in May 2017

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome!
*by J***É on March 14, 2017*

Read about this on the Eat Beautiful blog, what a blessing! This is a really outstanding product. I came down with bronchitis on a Thursday. That usually means I'm going to get a sinus infection and can expect to be really sick for 2 weeks. By Sunday I had a fever of 102. I was standing eagerly by the door waiting for this to be delivered and praying the reviews were not over hyped. The second it arrived I started taking 1 TBS 3 times a day. It is Tuesday and I've turned the corner. I'm up making breakfast for my kids! It's literally a miracle. I still have a lot of drainage but it's coming out easily. When I blow my nose it's so satisfying! I usually get this tight burning feeling in my sinuses which turns me into a mouth breather that in turn means I can't sleep. This calms that right down and just makes it all drain. I could almost cry. I've had three sinus surgeries. I've had an endoscopy for stomach aches. The doctor came back saying everything looked fine. Guess I should have gone to a vet because we seem to have better remedies for our animals then our people in this country. Thank you for this product and I only wish I'd know about it 10 years ago. Slippery Elm, bone broth and diatomaceous earth are now a regular part of my routine. I did try to take it simply mixed in water and wasn't able to get it down. 1 TBS in 8 oz makes for a very very thick drink. The flavor is mild, but I was already nauseous and I just couldn't get myself to drink something that thick. I ended up mixing 1 TBS in 2 cups raw milk with a little raw honey and a pinch of cinnamon. I started blending the milk slowly in the vitamix and dropped the slippery elm in as it was mixing. It incorporated well, no lumps. I intended to heat it but was honestly too weak for that step and it turned out I didn't need to.
