The Wonders of Slippery Elm


The Wonders of Slippery Elm



Traditional Use
Slippery elm was one of the most useful medicinal plants of the American wilderness. Native Americans from the Missouri River Valley used a tea of the fresh inner bark to make a soothing laxative. Among the Creek, a poultice of the bark was a toothache remedy. The Osage and other groups applied bark poultices to extract thorns and gunshot balls. Surgeons during the American Revolution used bark poultices as their primary treatment for gunshot wounds, and a soldier, separated from his company, survived for ten days in the wilderness on slippery elm and sassafras barks. During the War of 1812, when food was scarce, British soldiers fed their horses on slippery elm bark. Nineteenth-century physicians recommended slippery elm broth as a wholesome and nutritious food for infants and invalids, and the tea has long been the herbal treatment of choice for acute stomach ulcers and colitis.


How to make a "moc" chocolate milk drink with slippery Elm.
The Recipe:
Take 10 oz. Hot Milk 
2 tblspns Slippery Elm Bark Powder
1 tspn spoon honey

This can be added to fruit juices and create a freshness / earthy flavor. It adds a healthiness to a good quality fruit juice or add it to a freshly juiced juice e.g. apple celery carrot  or sprinkles some throughout your cereals hot or cold. Watch the difference!!!

So why is it so Great !!!
Slippery Elm was also used by native americans to remove the gamey taste out of their meats. It was also used to gel certain kinds of foods. this is because slippery Elm will absorb almost 20 times its volume and becomes like a liquid oatmeal ( this is also known as a gruel).

In case of famine slippery Elm can be used as a food. Because it also provides nourishment throughout the body and organs. it is the only herb that will, as it goes throughout the entire organ system of the body locate an ulcer  or cancerous sore;  stay within them and provide nourishment to the ulcer or sore and flush out the cancer , bacteria's thus aiding in the healing of the sores over time

How safe is Slippery Elm Bark. It is so safe it can be given to an infant in replacement of formula.

Note: due to slippery elms demuculant properties and it High absorption do not take this with any medication because it may effect the absorption of certain pharma drugs and will slow the absorption rate thus altering med levels.

Slippery Em is also great for cronic diarrhea especially for babies. 

In my personal opinion no home should be without this herb. The gruel can be taken hot or cold 


Using a high grade tincture in 8 oz. of hot water make a good nourishing Slippery Elm Tea.

How To make whole grain cereals

Heathy Herbs and Nutrition Series “ Roasted Grain Cereal”



Roasted wheat berries combined with regular wheat berries make a great hot cereal with a lot of flavor and boldness not to speak of its nutritional and overall health values.  Wheat berries are fun and easy to work with you can cook them hot or soak them and eat them cool in a salad with some greens walnuts and cranberries.
Wheat helps with cholesterol problems as well as diabetes and it provides many B complex vitamins.


Roasting the Berries:
You can ether bake a thin even layer on a cookie sheet  for 10 minutes at 300 degrees or get a dry frying pan really hot and add slowly about a 1/2 cup at a time for a few seconds then once they start snapping cracking and popping take them off the heat and shake the fry pan side to side (as you would do with popcorn) then place back on heat again for a few seconds and repeat the above process until all berries are a dark brown. you make get a few burnt ones but not to worry leave them in . The darker the berries are roasted the more nuttier the flavor it will be.

Cooling the roasted berries: 


Place all berries on another cookie sheet to completely cool . Once completely cooled add 2 more parts of unfrosted berries and mix together this will be your grinding mixture.


Grinding the berries: 
I currently am using a kitchen aid stand mixer with a grinder attachment these are great because yo can grind from a course feed type grind to a fine flour  type grind. after I cooled the berries and added the other 2 parts of non roasted berries  i set my grinder on corse and run the berries through slowly. you should get a yield of 1.5 times the amount of berries  as a final product.
Making a Wheatina Grind: I go 3 lines before the coarsest setting
Making a Farina Grind: I go 6 lines before the coursest setting

Do not worry about getting a fine flour in your ground cereal thats ok it will add as a thickening agent so your cereal is not like a watery soup.


The Mixture:


  • 2 cups hard red spring berries “ROASTED”
  • 2 cups of hard white berries
  • 2 cups of hard spring red berries


Cooking the Cereal:
I use 1/2 cup of cereal
2  cups of water

Directions:

Bring water to a hard boil add cereal slowly while stirring or you will get nothing but clumps. once all cereal is incorporated into the water lower to a low -med heat for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.

The Outcome:

A tasteful meal loaded with flavor and nutrition, B1, B3,B5, magnesium, manganese, calcium , vitamin E , protein, fiber. and NO:

  • Salt
  • Cholesterol
  • Saturated fats
  • Sugars
  • Trans fats
