Now Foods - Slippery Elm Powder, Vegetarian 4 Oz. 53647

Just there no visible difference

Slippery Elm is one of those herbs everyone should have in their cabinet and carry in their purse, etc. It helps relieve pain in your stomach and chest. Watch Barbara O'Neill for the full uses of this herb. I no longer use traditionally used chalk tablets by many companies.

Take 2 full spoon of slippery elm powder. Add it to 300ml water. Boil it for 5 mins. Let it drop to warm temperature. Drink this 15-20 mins before any meal just once a day. (You can even add a spoon of haritaki or amla powder to the boiling water.) This is my 2nd Now Foods slippery elm powder bottle. I tried it first time when my sibling brought it. Now I got one. Tried many methods but it works only before taking any meal.

My cat with IBD suffers typical symptoms including nausea and upset stomach. I read and now wholeheartedly believe that slippery elm works like Pepto-Bismol (which is toxic to cats), coating the tummy and providing swift relief to cats and I'd imagine all pets. It does a myriad of other medicinally beneficial things for cats that I encourage everybody to do a quick online search. I promise you'll be amazed! This is a an absolute MUST item in my kitty medicine arsenal. NOW brand is an inexpensive yet 100% trustworthy source of quality SEP - - which is critical, as I've actually tried a couple other brands in capsule form that appeared legit but once prepared smelled noxious/burned, thus obviously NOT pure & full of God knows what random fillers. **I mix ONE heaping TBSP in 1/2cup cold water in a glass sauce pan, bring to boil then immediately reduce to simmer for 3-5mins. Stir/whisk constantly (I use a fork). Finished product will be think, gelatinous (PERFECT to soothe tummy), some call it "gruel". I fill a 5 cc syringe & administer orally then store remaining gruel in fridge for up to 1 week. FYI - You can't really mess up proportionately so don't sweat it! Above pep method is preferred but in a pinch, you can forgo boiling & simply mix & serve. For single dose, I eyeball appx 1/2 TSP powder to maybe 1 TBSP water. Good luck!

Just consume 1 tbs of this with water 30 minute before meals to sooth your gi tract to avoid acidity and acid reflux.

Super way to use, mixes well and is easy to swallow. Great value too.
