Green Blessings! I am Susun Weed, an Herbalist, and I want to talk to you about one of my favorite herbs. For when we overeat or have acid indigestion or even food poisoning and that's Slippery Elm.
I first became interested in the Slippery Elm, when I read that Native Americans in the Adirondack Mountains would put aside pieces of the inner bark of slippery elm to help them get through the long hard winters. There is a matter of fact Adirondack means eater of bark.
Slippery elm is just amazing. It's one of the few herbs that I got powdered and mixed the powder with enough honey, like I am making pie dough, so that it becomes kind of doughy and roll it up into balls, and then if I have acid indigestion, or I am feeling sick to my stomach, I suck on slippery elm ball and everything gets soothed.
I just talked to one of my students last night and she said, Slippery Elm is amazing. I was at my family Thanksgiving dinner or your Hanukkah dinner or your Christmas dinner or any other holiday that you might celebrate by eating too much, and she said I take slippery elm. I pass it out to everybody after the meal, and all I had the smiles and satisfied size.
You don't want to make your own Slippery Elm balls, usually at health food stores , they sell slippery elm balls and juice. They're recommended to soothe coughs and sour throats and they do that very well. But, what they really do fantastically well is to keep that acid down in your stomach where it belongs and to completely eliminate food poisoning and the symptoms of food poisoning.
Another student who suffered from food poisoning, she says almost every month she used Slippery elm and told me that she was clear of the nausea, and vomiting within half-an-hour. She never seen anything like it.
Happy holidays, remember your Slippery Elm.
