Slippery elm is one of the safest and most beneficial herbs that helps to re-balance the gut. The mucilage content in slippery elm coats, soothes, and lubricates the mucus membranes lining the digestive tract, making slippery elm a great treatment for bowel issues. Since slippery elm is high in fiber, it can relieve both diarrhea and constipation as well as alleviate nausea and vomiting in dogs.

 

In addition to its GI healing properties, slippery elm is also packed with nutrients like vitamins A, B complex, C, K, calcium, magnesium and sodium. Slippery elm is one of the herbs used in the original formulation of “Essiac,” also called “Ojibwa Tea,” an herbal mixture widely promoted as a cancer-fighter. Slippery elm bark is known as a “demulcent,” something that soothes irritations and inflammation. It is high in fiber, so it also helps with vomiting and diarrhea. The texture coats and helps lubricate the mucous membranes, keeping everything moving the correct way!
