If you suffer from acid reflux or digestive discomfort, slippery elm is one of the best natural remedies to have on hand. Used for centuries in herbal medicine, slippery elm is rich in mucilage, a gel-like substance that coats and soothes the oesophagus and stomach lining, reducing irritation from acid reflux.
Why Slippery Elm Helps with Acid Reflux:
Coats and protects the oesophagus, reducing burning sensations
Soothes inflammation in the digestive tract
Supports gut healing, making it ideal for long-term reflux relief
Aids digestion and relieves bloating
Naturally balances stomach acid levels without interfering with digestion
Helps with nausea and other digestive issues
Slippery elm balls are a quick and easy way to harness these benefits, providing fast relief while also promoting long-term healing.
How to Make Slippery Elm Balls
Ingredients:
3 tbsp slippery elm powder (gut-healing & soothing)
1 tbsp raw honey (natural anti-inflammatory & binder)
½ tsp cinnamon (optional) (for flavour & digestion support)
Instructions:
In a small bowl, mix the slippery elm powder and cinnamon (if using).
Add the raw honey and stir well until a thick paste forms.
If the mixture feels too dry, add a few drops of water until it becomes pliable.
Roll into small pea-sized balls.
Store in an airtigt tin or jar with a little powder to keep them coated.
How to Use:
Take 1–2 balls before meals or when acid reflux/nausea/stomach symptoms arise.
Let them slowly dissolve in your mouth to fully coat and protect the oesophagus.
Why This Works:
Slippery elm mucilage coats and soothes the digestive tract allowing it to heal.
Honey reduces inflammation and promotes healing
Cinnamon aids digestion and adds a natural flavour boost
These quick, effective, and all-natural slippery elm balls are a great alternative to medications, helping the body to heal and alleviate acid reflux without side effects.
