Slippery elm is an extract from a tree native to North America. It has been served as a medicinal product for hundreds of years and relieving acid reflux, heartburn, and other stomach issues are just a few of its uses. Slippery elm is available as powdered bark, capsules, and even lozenges. Take a 500-milligram capsule or one tablespoon of powdered bark mixed with water or tea up to three times a day for no longer than eight weeks. Honey or sugar can help make it more palatable.
