In this video I discuss #slipperyelm =the scientific name being #ulmasfulva
This is one of my favourite herbs as it has always worked for me without fail, provided immediate short term relief yet allowed for longterm healing to take place. It is a mucilage herb.
Great Nans Recipe:
(origin unknown)
2 tsp slippery elm rot powder, 2 tsp honey (you can use more or less but match spoon for spoon with powder and honey)
mix to a paste as seen in the video. Add your water half way up mug, stir till you get a gloopy gel consistency, similar to aloe vera. Its this gloopy element that is what we are looking for as it is this that coats our digestive tract. You can the (optional) top off with milk as my Great Nan did, stir and drink immediately.
I suffered from gastritis and stomach ulcers for around 15 years in total, i tried every medicine under the sun that my gastro team prescribed, yet slippery elm root was the only thing that actually provided fast acting relief but helped longterm, to the degree where i dont suffer from this condition at all. It has also eased a lot of my other IBS symptoms to the degree where i can function as normal where they are concerned. I used to have seconds as a warning and refused to leave the house just in case. This is now under control and tbh i hold slippery elm in high regard as a result.
Mucilage herbs coat and work on the mucosal tissues in the body. Slippery elm is a wonderful her for #gastrointestinal #gut #digestivecomplaints it is suitable for all conditions ranging from #indigestion #gerd #colitis #giulcers #ulcers #chrons and other inflammatory diseases. In addition to that it is a wonderful skin herb too. Slippery Elm is a #prebiotic and #prebiotics feed our good #gutbacteria helping to bring balance to our #gutmicrobiome which is crucial for our overall health.
These videos do not diagnose and are for educational purposes only. please consult a trained clinical herbalist for a more bespoke plan for your health conditions. Research each herb i discuss for yourself and be sure to check out the contra-indications of each herb. Plant medicine is actually a lot more powerful than people realise, and as with western medications some herbs can and do have contraindications.
Much love and blessings from our home ed homestead here at home ed looks like this. I hope this recipe helps you as much as it did myself.
