This tincture is made from the bark of the American basswood (slippery elm). It can help soothe and reduce swelling in all mucous membranes, including the nose and throat. The mucilage in the bark forms a protective coating on the mucous membranes. If your pet suffers from irritated mucous membranes in the bowel or urinary tract, this tincture may provide relief and can also help with coughing and a sore throat.
Slippery elm is prebiotic, meaning it nourishes the bacteria in the bowel and can therefore support good bowel function. The mucilage formed soothes and lubricates the mucous membranes in the bowel, which can help with diarrhoea, colitis, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and gastroenteritis. The high fibre content can help with an unsettled or unstable stomach.
Whether you should choose powder or tincture depends on what is easiest for you and what your pet prefers. The tincture does not need to be diluted with water; it can be used immediately if necessary. Just shake the bottle briefly and administer directly into your pet's mouth.
Should not be given...▾
- at the same time as medication. The mucilage formed reduces the absorption of medication if given at the same time. Therefore, give it at least 2 hours before or after medication.
- to pregnant or lactating animals. The use of slippery elm in pregnant or lactating animals is not sufficiently documented, so it is not recommended.
- for long periods without veterinary follow-up: Although slippery elm is safe, you should always consult a veterinarian if your pet has persistent problems. Long-term use may mask underlying health problems.
