Slippery Elm Bark with Okra – Organic – Tincture – 4oz

Organic Slippery Elm Bark Tincture has a deep-rooted history dating back to the Native Americans who recognized its myriad benefits. This natural marvel, derived from the Slippery Elm tree (Ulmus rubra), has been used traditionally for centuries.

For men and women alike, the tincture serves as a treasure trove of wellness benefits. It has been touted to support digestive health, assisting with conditions such as acid reflux, gastritis, and ulcers due to its mucilage content. This mucilage can coat and soothe the digestive tract, promoting gut health (Chevallier, 2000).

Further benefits include potential relief from respiratory ailments, contributing to the tincture’s reputation as a vital support in managing cold and flu symptoms. Slippery Elm Bark Tincture has also been observed to possess antioxidant properties, contributing to overall wellbeing.

For women specifically, Slippery Elm has been used to help increase vaginal lubrication as well as a soothing agent for skin health, including conditions like psoriasis and eczema (Medical News Today, 2017). Men, on the other hand, might appreciate Slippery Elm’s traditional use in maintaining urinary health, easing conditions such as cystitis.

Benefits of Okra:

Okra is a beneficial food for women’s reproductive health due to its nutrient profile. Rich in folate, it supports fetal development and reduces the risk of birth defects. The presence of phytoestrogens helps regulate estrogen, balancing hormones and alleviating PMS symptoms. Antioxidants protect reproductive cells from oxidative stress, enhancing egg quality and overall fertility. Magnesium and vitamin C help reduce menstrual discomfort, while iron and vitamin C improve blood health, which is crucial for regular menstruation. Additionally, okra’s mucilage supports cervical mucus production, boosting fertility, and its vitamins and minerals are valuable for pregnancy and lactation, supporting both maternal and fetal health.
