If you want to detox your body...

If you have harmed your body with toxins...

If you suffer from annoying constipation and bloating...

If you have trouble with bowel movements...

If you have high cholesterol...

The Elm & Psyllium seeds have undergone laboratory tests at Univeristy of Agriculture in Kraków.

It can be frustrating to keep trying methods that deliver only average results.

They're expensive and usually full of chemicals.

They promise you the earth but don't do the job.

Now you don't need to keep playing roulette with your health!

With Elm & Psyllium you’ll speed up your metabolism and improve digestive health.

Astonishingly the product quickly stops constipation. It also put an end to bloating, heartburn, bad

breath and pain in the liver

Now you too can have the clean, healthy body of a new-born baby.

95% of people have harmful substances in their bodies.

Research conducted on Psyllium in 2009 showed that 40% of people do not know that these

harmful substances actually remain and accumulate in the body.

People spend a fortune on ineffective supplements that give only short-lived improvements.

Only about 10% of people lead a healthy lifestyle and regularly undergo a detox. They're the

ones who live longest and healthiest.

90% of people do nothing to prevent serious ailments but wait until they're ill to do

something about it. Do you really want to wait till you're really suffering before you act to

counter long-term neglect of your physical health, unhealthy lifestyles and lack of exercise?

"Efficient removal of toxins from the body supports the fight against obesity and being

overweight."

On average 50% of women and 25% men suffer constipation.

They play havoc with our physical health. They reduce quality of

life and are the cause of many ailments. They skilfully poison us,

slowly over time. Day by day pile up in our bodies and we lose

the energy to expel them in such huge quantities.

After a few years ... our health begins to fail and we end up

miserable as we develop one disease after another.

So if you are tired, lack energy or are missing the enthusiasm to

do anything – that's a sign your body is in urgent need of a detox

treatment.

Fecal masses that you don't excrete accumulate in your body.

They can amount to pounds in weight. And they sit in your

intestines.

You go to the toilet but some of this waste stays in you.

The result? Illness, bacteria and bad mood.

Storing up dangerous substances takes years. It's a silent but

deadly process. You only feel its effects years down the line. But

when it starts ...it creates chaos in the body and requires

expensive drugs to treat.

STOP! It doesn't have to be this way. You can save yourself from

these horrors and secure a healthy life for yourself.

Our intestines, liver and kidneys are in charge of keeping our

bodies clean. These organs work closely together to detox the

body.

It's a simple equation – keep your body clean and you'll have a better life and

no health problems. A pure body gives you a happy mind.

Various detox methods exist. Most are loaded with chemicals, expensive and

have side effects.

This method comes from the combination of Slippery Elm and Plantago

psyllium seed / Plantago ovata husks.

These herb removes settled toxic substances, fungi and parasites from your

body.

They remove everything that's outstayed its welcome and harms your health. In short: they give

your body round-the-clock protection and significantly improve quality of life.

But only by combining these two components can we create the unique blend that delivers this

breakthrough efficiency. This mix is Slippery Elm & Psyllium.

Slippery elm bark is a herb derived from the Elm (Ulmus) family.

Native to Canada and the US, it can be found growing in the

Appalachian Mountains. The inner bark is collected from trees which are at least 10 years old, and is

mainly powdered for therapeutic use.

So what is slippery elm used for?

Soothing Slippery elm was traditionally powdered and one of its main uses

for Native Americans was as a poultice for boils, ulcers and for wounds in

general. Other common uses included being used for colds or fevers and to

soothe an irritated digestive system – one of its main purposes today.

The major use for slippery elm today is for soothing the bowel in conditions

of inflammation – especially colitis and IBS – irritable bowel syndrome. It is

also similarly helpful in other inflammatory bowel conditions such as

Page 6: If you want to detox your body - Green MedsYou feel a significant improvement in your physical wellbeing. After our detox treatment, your body will work at its very best. All organs

diverticulitis and diverticulosis.

Slippery elm Bark is such a specific remedy for helping these conditions that it is almost a crime that

doctors and hospital don’t make more use of it. It will often soothe the pain of patients suffering

these ailments within a couple of hours. This is not a case of the slippery elm powder hiding the

pain; by soothing the inflamed area, the pain – a signal from the body that something is wrong –

simply goes away because there is no need for it.

Now, of course, the cause of the condition must still be dealt with – may be it’s a congested colon;

maybe it’s a constitution which is easily stressed; but the slippery elm is a great herbal ‘tool’ to help

deal with the symptoms, while the cause is being sorted out. Appropriate practitioners might be

need to help sort out the causes.

For inflammatory bowel conditions like this, the slippery elm is made into a thin type of ‘porridge’

type of drink. It is sometimes called ‘gruel’ – which sounds pretty awful; and sometimes called ‘tea’ –

which sounds as if it is thin; but it is not – it’s quite glutinous. But this is the benefit of slippery elm –

its glutinous nature helps it adhere to the inside stomach/intestine walls, and do its job of nourishing

and soothing.

Anyone who uses slippery elm is guaranteed a very safe herb; the risk of using it is almost zero.

However, you must treat the cause of the problem, as indicated above, or the symptoms will just

keep recurring.

You can take slippery elm capsules – but much better to use the powder to make a drink if you can.

Just avoid any slippery elm powder with any additives – such as sugar. It simply needs no additives at

all.

The ‘slippery’ part of slippery elm refers to the texture of the herb. This is because of the large

mucilage content of slippery elm, which is also responsible for its wonderful healing and soothing

action. In most herbal literature this is termed a ‘demulcent’ or an ’emollient’ agent, which means it

is a soothing substance.

It not only soothes and heals all that it comes into contact with, but is highly nutritious. Slippery elm

is a wholesome food for the weak and convalescent, from infants to the elderly.

Listed below are some of the most common uses for slippery elm.

Slippery elm makes a wonderfully soothing and healing poultice, applied locally to the problem, for

drawing out toxins, especially those associated with boils, spots or abscesses and can assist the

removal of splinters.

Applied to wounds, burns and inflammation of any kind, slippery elm is soothing and helps heal, and

reduce swelling and pain.

‘A Modern Herbal’ by Mrs Grieves, written in the 1930’s, gives different preparations and

combinations of slippery elm for poultices and. Go to

to find the online version of Mrs Grieves’ text on Slippery Elm and its uses.

Because of the mucilage content of slippery elm, it can be just as valuable internally as externally.

Internal use of slippery elm

Slippery elm Bark can be used to help soothe many different types of digestive complaints, for

example:

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Colitis and diverticulitis

Inflammation of the gut or colic

Can give instant relief to acid indigestion or ‘reflux’ (this is a common use for Slippery Elm)

Ulcers anywhere in the gut (stomach & intestines)

Diarrhoea – especially if mixed with a banana and powdered Marshmallow

As a nutritive (a nourishing herb). Slippery elm powder is a great food for debilitated states, and as a

baby food

It can also be useful for urinary infections – cystitis for example.

Traditionally, slippery elm bark is also reported to ease chest, lung and bronchial conditions.

Dosage Powder/tea drink – Mix 1 tsp herb with a little water to a paste. Slowly add half a pint or so of

boiling water, stirring or whisking all the time. Drink 2-3 cups daily.

Capsules 325mg – 1-8 capsules 3 times daily.

Or follow the instructions on any proprietary pack of a slippery elm product being used.

Slippery elm is often combined with other digestive herbs, such as Aniseed, Peppermint or

Cardamom. You may also come across many products formulated for the bowel or kidneys and

urinary tract which contain slippery elm and other herbs.

Slippery elm is great by itself for colitis and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). It can also be combined

with other herbs including wild yam, bayberry and agrimony to make an excellent combination

herbal formula for colitis or IBS. This is great if taken along with slippery elm tea. Find a product, or

products, which work for you – either the single herb or a combination of herbs – and continue for a

full course of treatment. Have slippery elm tea every day.

Another valuable herb to bear in mind is Cayenne Pepper – Capsicum minimum, which tends to stop

bleeding. Cayenne is very, very helpful to counteract any intestinal bleeding. You can take cayenne

pepper in water – but it is rather hot, so most people prefer to take capsules. Take 3 capsules a day

of Cayenne Capsules for a few weeks or longer if desired. It works very well alongside slippery elm.

(But DO visit your doctor to make sure the bleeding has no sinister cause.)

We have an article on the valuable herb, Cayenne Pepper. More information on another site about

herbal and other treatments for irritable bowel syndrome – IBS.

Cayenne and slippery elm are two beautifully simple and truly fantastic herbs. When they are

needed – they are incomparable. They would both definitely be in this herbalist’s ‘Top ten herbs to

have on a desert island.’

Cautions

There are no-known contra-indications for slippery elm bark – it is a very safe herb.

Summary

Slippery elm is an incredibly soothing herb, with fast acting relief for many digestive and bowel

problems. It certainly lives up to its reputation.

If you have or are thinking of making a herbal first aid kit, slippery elm powder is an essential

component.

Do you struggle with constipation, diarrhea or other digestive

issues? If so, you must try slippery elm.

Slippery elm, also known as red elm, has been used as an herbal

remedy in North America since the 19th century because it’s been

shown to treat a number of digestive issues, including relieving

constipation. What makes it so great? It contains mucilage, a

substance that becomes a slick gel when mixed with water. This

mucilage coats and soothes the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines,

making it ideal for sore throat, cough, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Crohn’s disease,

ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diverticulitis and diarrhea. Plus, it’s been even used

to treat breast cancer!

These are just some of the slippery elm benefits. What else can this amazing tree bark do? Let’s take

a look.

In addition to mucilage, slippery elm contains antioxidants, making it a great remedy for wounds,

burns, boils, psoriasis and other external skin conditions. Like high-antioxidant foods, slippery elm

can help relieve inflammatory bowel conditions, making it a great addition to any IBS diet.

It also may help protect against ulcers and excess acidity in the body because it causes reflux

stimulation of nerve endings in the gastrointestinal tract, and that reaction leads to increased mucus

secretion. Not only does this help most people, but it can actually give much relief to your dog too!

Slippery elm seems to improve symptoms of constipation and IBS. In one study, formula one was

created consisting of a mixture of dried, powdered bilberry fruit, powdered slippery elm bark,

agrimony aerial parts and cinnamon quills. Formula two was created consisting of a mixture of dried

powdered slippery elm bark, lactulose, oat bran andlicorice root. The aim of each formula was to

normalize stool frequency and stool consistency.

Formula one was associated with a small but significant increase in bowel movement frequency.

Subjects also experienced reductions in straining, abdominal pain, bloated stomach and global IBS

symptoms during the treatment phase of the trial. Subjects who took formula two experienced a 20

Page 9: If you want to detox your body - Green MedsYou feel a significant improvement in your physical wellbeing. After our detox treatment, your body will work at its very best. All organs

percent increase in bowel movement frequency and significant reductions in straining, abdominal

pain, bloating and global IBS symptom severity, as well as improvements in stool consistency. (2)

Ultimately, both formulas showed improvements.

Likewise, it’s been shown to treat diarrhea as well, along with diverticulitis. (3)

Since slippery elm has the ability to improve digestion, this process can aid in weight loss. A

study performed at New York Chiropractic College used normal participants from the faculty, staff,

students and community members to participate in a 21-day weight loss program. All participants

received freshly prepared, mostly vegan meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner. They included 1,200

to 1,400 daily calories for the women and 1,600 to 1,800 daily calories for the men.

Nutritional supplements containing digestive enzymes that were intended to facilitate digestion,

reduce cholesterol levels, increase metabolic rate and mediate inflammatory processes were

consumed 30 minutes before each meal. The regimented supplementation program included daily

supplementation with a one green drink that contained alfalfa, wheat grass, apple cider vinegar and

fulvic acid throughout the study period. A cleanse supplementation containing slippery elm,

magnesium, chia seeds, flaxseed, lemon, camu camu, cat’s claw, bentonite clay, turmeric, pau

d’arco, chanca piedra, stevia, zeolite clay, garlic, ginger, peppermint, aloe, citrus bioflavonoids and

fulvic acid was added before each meal during week two.

During week three, the cleanse supplementation was replaced with prebiotic and probiotic

supplementation. In addition to detecting clinically meaningful reductions in weight, subjects were

also seen as having low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. (4)

Many plants contain phenolics, which are aromatic benzene ring compounds that produce one or

more hydroxyl groups, mainly for protection against stress. This makes slippery elm a great stress

reliever.

A study conducted by the Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology in India using analytical

methods to undertake detailed phytonutrient analyses of eight contributing herbs included slippery

elm, burdock, sheep sorrel, Turkish rhubarb, watercress, red clover, blessed thistle and kelp.

Ultimately, the study indicated that contributing herbs predominantly contain phenolics that may

make them great options for relieving stress and anxiety. (5)

Since breast cancer is a major cause of morbidity, mortality and medical expenditures among

women, slippery elm has become a go-to for many women battling it. It was first promoted as an

option to treat breast cancer, including DCIS, in the 1920s. It’s the inner bark of slippery elm, Ulmus

fulva or U. rubra, that has become one of the more popular herbal remedies for breast cancer

treatment, secondary prevention, improving quality of life and controlling negative side effects of

conventional breast cancer treatment.

Though more studies need to be conducted, slippery elm, when combined with certain herbs such as

burdock root, Indian rhubard and sheep sorrel, may improve conditions for women with breast

cancer and improve depression, anxiety and fatigue. Because it has immune-boosting benefits and

anti-inflammatory effects, it may help relieve pain associated with breast cancer, and it’s most

common to find slippery elm in herbal tea mixtures and herbal dietary supplements. (6, 7)

Slippery elm has been shown to help patients

with psoriasis, which is a big deal given that there

is no cure for psoriasis. Five case studies were

evaluated of patients with psoriasis following a

specific dietary regimen. Evaluation consisted of

a study group of five patients, both men and

women between the ages of 40–68, diagnosed

with chronic plaque psoriasis.

The subjects were asked to follow a dietary

protocol that included a diet of fresh fruits and

vegetables, small amounts of protein from fish

and fowl, fiber supplements, olive oil, and

avoidance of red meat, processed foods and

refined carbohydrates. They were also asked to

consume saffron tea and slippery elm bark water

daily. The five psoriasis cases, ranging from mild

to severe at the study onset, improved on all

measured outcomes over a six-month period,

proving slippery elm makes a great addition to

any psoriasis diet treatment. (8)

The tree slippery elm, medically known as Ulmus

fulva, has been around since the 19th century and was used by Native Americans in healing salves

for various types of wounds as well as taken orally for the relief of flu and cold-like symptoms. The

Iroquois scraped the bark of the tree to treat infected and swollen glands and used the inner bark as

an eyewash to treat sore eyes.

Some tribes used the inner bark as a slippery elm tea and in a poultice to heal sores on the body. It

was believed to make childbirth easier when consuming as a tea and was used to treat sore throats.

The versatility even shines through by making an excellentnatural laxative by boiling the fresh inner

bark.

Medicinal purposes were not the only uses of this miracle tree either. The bark supplied material for

the sides of winter houses and roofs of the Meskwaki. The inner bark was used by many tribes by

boiling the bark to make fiber bags, large storage baskets, ropes and cords, making slippery elm one

of the most versatile trees on the planet.

Slippery elm is a medium-sized tree native to North America. It can reach well over 50 feet in height

and is topped by spreading branches that form an open crown. The branches are typically red,

brown or orange and grow downward to include stalkless flowers arranged in dense clusters. The

plant’s leaves are long and green, and they darken in color during the fall.

Page 11: If you want to detox your body - Green MedsYou feel a significant improvement in your physical wellbeing. After our detox treatment, your body will work at its very best. All organs

The bark has deep fissures, a gummy texture, and a slight but distinct odor. It’s the inner bark that’s

key. This bark is dried and powdered to be used for medicinal purposes and typically found as tablets

and capsules, slippery elm lozenges, slippery elm powder for making teas or extracts, and coarsely

powdered bark for poultices.

Slippery elm, identified by its “slippery” inner bark, may live to be 200 years old. Sometimes called

red elm, gray elm or soft elm, this tree grows best on moist, rich soils of lower slopes and flood

plains, although it may also grow on dry hillsides with limestone soils. It’s abundant and associated

with many other hardwood trees but is not an important lumber tree. HThe hard, strong wood is

considered inferior to the American elm even though they’re often mixed and sold together as soft

elm.

Slippery elm extends from southwestern Maine west to New York, extreme southern Quebec,

southern Ontario, northern Michigan, central Minnesota, and eastern North Dakota; south to

eastern South Dakota, central Nebraska, southwestern Oklahoma, and central Texas; then east to

northwestern Florida and Georgia. Slippery elm is uncommon in the range lying south to Kentucky

but is most abundant in the southern part of the lake states and in the corn belt of the Midwest. (9,

10)

Slippery elm can typically be found at your local health food store in numerous forms, including tea,

lozenges, capsules and tablets, poultice, and extract. Just ask the nutritionist for help finding what

works for you.

Here are some of the most common uses and forms:

Diarrhea (in humans and pets): treatment by ingestion of capsules, tablets, tea, tincture and extracts

Cough (humans and cats): treatment by lozenges, tea, tincture, and extracts

Acid reflux: treatment by tea, and extracts

Constipation (pets, especially cats): treatment by powder or extract added to food

External skin conditions (humans and pets): treatment by shampoo or topical cream infused with

extract.

There are many ways you can incorporate slippery elm into your diet. Here are a few recipes to try:

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon slippery elm bark powder

1 cup boiling water

1 teaspoon local honey (optional)

3 ounces almond or coconut milk

1/2 teaspoon of cacao

Sprinkle of cinnamon

Add boiling water to cup.

Add the slippery elm bark powder and stir well.

Slippery Elm Herbal Cough Drops

Natural First Aid Kit with Slippery Elm

Slippery elm should only be given to children under the supervision of a knowledgeable practitioner.

Dosage is usually dependent on weight. Herbal medicines can trigger side effects and interact with

other herbs, supplements or medications. Therefore, use caution and check with your health care

provider, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or using other medications.

Though slippery elm has no serious side effects, because it coats the digestive tract, it may slow

down the absorption of other drugs or herbs. It may be best to take slippery elm two hours before or

after other herbs or medications you may be taking.

It contains mucilage, a substance that becomes a slick gel when mixed with water. This mucilage

coats and soothes the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines, making it ideal for sore throat,

cough, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel

syndrome (IBS), diverticulitis and diarrhea.

Slippery elm helps improve constipation, bloating, diarrhea and IBS symptoms; aids in weight

loss; reduces stress and anxiety; may help prevent and treat breast cancer; and reduces the

severity of symptoms of psoriasis.

It’s even been used to heal wounds, relieve the flu or common cold, treat infected and swollen

glands, wash and heal sore eyes, heal sores, make childbirth easier, and treat sore sore throat

and coughs. It’s also been used to make siding and roofs for houses, fiber bags, large storage

baskets, ropes, and cords.

The inner bark is where most of the health benefits reside. This bark is dried and powdered to be

used for medicinal purposes and typically found as tablets and capsules, slippery elm lozenges,

slippery elm powder for making teas or extracts, and coarsely powdered bark for poultices.
