The demulcent effect of the mucilages found in Slippery Elm is most efficacious when the herb is delivered as a powder mixed with water so it has direct contact with the mucous membranes. This supplies a localised anti inflammatory action in the gastrointestinal tract and a localised barrier against the detrimental effects of stomach acid in the oesophagus and stomach. Slippery Elm powder may be mixed with food like banana and yoghurt, making it really suited for children.
