Napiers Slippery Elm Powder (Ulmus rubra)

A herbal food supplement to support the gastrointestinal tract

A herbal food supplement containing pure, sustainably-sourced, powdered slippery elm inner-bark. This is a nutritious food supplement traditionally included in the diets of invalids and the elderly.

In 1898, a tablespoonful of the powder would be boiled in a pint of fresh milk, to provide “a nourishing diet for infants weaned from the breast, preventing the bowel complaints to which they are subject, and rendering them fat and healthy” (Felter & Lloyd’s Kings Dispensatory).
