    Taking for GERD & EOE This has worked wonders for me! I had constant burning in my stomach and esophagus. PPI's were not working and I didn't want to use steroids so decided to try slippery elm. So glad I did! It has helped me in such a short amount of time. Water aggravates my GERD so I mix it in almond milk 3 times a day. It's truly been a life saver!

    MD diagnosed me with vaginal yeast infection. I treated myself with a vaginal douce of slippery elm. Also, I soaked tampons with Slippery Elm. Two weeks later wen to doctor, no signs of infection.

    Comment:
    slippery elm by mouth is NOT used to produce an abortion. Please get your facts straight - many years ago shards of the bark were inserted into the vagina to procure abortions and this is why Slippery elm is only available in powder form nowadays.
