Organic Traditions Slippery Elm Bark Powder (Organic) - 200g is a dietary supplement in powder form, intended for adults as part of a daily wellness routine.
SLIPPERY ELM IS GREAT FOR COUGHS, COLD & SORE THROATSSLIPPERY ELM inner bark is very rich in mucilage, a complex mixture of polysaccharides that form a soothing gelatinous fiber when water is added. Slippery Elm Bark is recommended to sooth gastric diseases and has several beneficial effects on digestion. It reduces bowel transit time, absorbs toxins, increases fecal bulk and dilutes stool materials thereby reducing stool contact with the intestinal mucosa, and enhances beneficial bacteria. The bark has noted anti-inflammatory activity. As the mucilage resists digestion by stomachs acids and enzymes, it maintains its soothing action throughout the entire digestive system. [POWDER]

SLIPPERY ELM BARK FROM ORGANIC TRADITIONS
Slippery Elm Bark forms a smoothing, gelatinous fibre when added to water.
Slippery elm is a tree that is native to North America and was first used by native North Americans. They discovered that when the bark was mixed with water it formed a thick mucus-like substance. Slippery elm is a demulcent, an agent that coats and protects mucosal surfaces. The active components in slippery elm are large carbohydrate molecules. In the respiratory tract slippery elm decreases cough, speeds removal of mucus and helps to heal the tract. In the stomach and intestines slippery elm protects the lining from ulceration. Slippery elm also soothes the urinary tract and helps the skin to heal. Natural health practitioners recommend slippery elm for a variety of needs including sore throat, colds, coughs, bladder infections, digestive ulcers, burns, and wounds.
Slippery elm can be found in a variety of different forms including dried, powdered or encapsulated inner bark or liquid extract. It is often used as a lozenge, tea or drink. Topically slippery elm can be mixed with water and applied directly to the skin or onto a poultice. Slippery elm is found in formulas for cold or cough relief,
urinary tract health
and ulcers. When purchasing slippery elm use only the inner bark. The outer bark contains medicinal components may be harmful and may cause miscarriage.

Intestinal Health
Neglected, it can cause serious health concerns. Taken care of
intestinal health
can help you to stay energetic and full of life. Read on to discover how you can improve the health of your intestines...
The intestine is the main absorptive area of the digestive tract. It is essentially a tube with a thin mucosal lining and lots of blood vessels on the inside and muscles around the outside. It has its own immune tissue called GALT, or gut associated lymphoid tissue. The inner lining is filled with little fingers, or projection of the mucosa, which greatly increases its absorptive surface.
Lying on the membrane are many friendly organisms, which help our body with the digestive process. The small intestine attaches to the stomach. Near it's beginning, ducts from the liver and
pancreas
release digestive juices. These juices mix with the partially digested food from the stomach and continue the digestive process. Nutrients are absorbed through the thin intestinal wall and transported via the bloodstream, to where they are needed. The liver also excretes processed toxins and fats through the bile. These substances must be carried through the intestine without being absorbed.
The remainder of the food is pushed through into the large intestine. The main function of the large intestine is the preparation of stool for excretion. In order to do this the digested food must be dehydrated and compacted. The last bit of nutrients may also be absorbed here.
The immune system has an important role to play in the health of the intestine and the body at large. One can think of the digestive tract as part of the exterior since it is in contact with things taken in from our environment. GALT must identify normal food particles and nutrients from microbes, toxins and other foreign substances that can cause our body's harm. Improper immune responses are a cause of
food allergy,
food sensitivity
and can be the basis for autoimmune conditions.
Some of the most important players in intestinal health are not part of our own body. Friendly intestinal bacteria, often called
probiotics, are an essential part of digestion. They break down food particles, manufacture vitamins and prevent the infection of the tract with other microbes. Each bowel movement actually contains millions of these friendly bacteria; they are in a constant state of renewal. Many concerns like indigestion, gas, bloating and
constipation
can be due to an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria. It is easy to upset this balance by improper diet or taking medications like antibiotics.
Many foods that we eat, other substances we consume and our lifestyles contribute to intestinal disorders. Highly processed foods, alcohol, medications and tobacco are difficult for our body to break down and may also physically damage the digestive lining.
Processed foods are also deficient in nutrients so not only does the body have to work extra hard to digest the food, but it also gets depleted of the things it needs to do its work. Water and fibre intake is important to have proper moisture and bulk in the stool and make bowel movements regular.
Stress, anxiety and other emotional concerns put our nervous system in an excited state. Our digestive processes are only fully functional when our nervous system is relaxed. Sedentary lifestyles decrease movement throughout the digestive tract. As our transit time slows there is more opportunity for the re-absorption of processed toxins and greater chance of microbial overgrowth. Slow transit time also dries the stool and makes it more difficult to pass. Our body is designed so that each time we eat a meal we have a bowel movement. Many individuals can be considered constipated and have bowel movements less than once daily. One can eat the most nutritious food but if the intestinal membrane is not in good working order the body will not be able to absorb the nutrients.
