Slippery Elm Bark Powder

The inner bark (as a mucilaginous demulcent for heartburn/digestion) is widely considered one of the safer, gentler herbs in pregnancy; whole bark (historically used to induce abortion via the cervix) is a different, contraindicated preparation — only use the powdered inner bark taken orally.

Commonly used as a gentle digestive soother; considered compatible with breastfeeding.

Widely used as a gentle, food-like demulcent for children's digestive upset and sore throats.
