For a long time now the most popular article on our main site – www.alternative-healthzine.com – has been the one on slippery elm.

I would have thought it would have been agnus castus for period or menopause; or maybe milk thistle for the liver. But no – slippery elm definitely has the vote of our visitors.

Well, it certainly is a fantastic herb. Slippery elm. has several great features:

1. It can be taken by just about anyone. Because it can be made into a ‘tea’, it can be taken by quite young children. It is safe for any age as its benefit is in the mucilage it provides for the throat, stomach and intestines.
2. It is a fantastically soothing herb. Any part of the throat, stomach or intestines it touches is soothed.
3. It can be used externally – on the skin. Here, it dries and sticks to the skin, so it can be put under a bandage and soothes and nourishes the areas it touches. Other herbs can also be mixed in.
4. It is particularly good to help with IBS. and similar inflammatory bowel conditions.

I will tell you more about how to use it in the next post. If you want more information now, go to the slippery elm  article on the web site.
