Elm Bark Herbal Remedy (100g), Organic Herbs from Bashkiria
Elm bark boasts a rich history of traditional medicinal use. Internally, it’s traditionally used as a diuretic for conditions such as dropsy (edema), chronic rheumatism, and fever (often in conjunction with birch buds). Externally, it’s applied topically as an ointment or compress to treat skin diseases, burns, and wounds. Its therapeutic properties stem from a unique blend of mucilage, tannins, and bitter compounds. The mucilage provides a soothing effect, making it beneficial for chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and diarrhea. Tannins promote tissue regeneration, aiding in the healing of skin conditions like burns, rashes, eczema, and chronic wounds. Elm bark also exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, haemostatic, and wound-healing properties, supporting musculoskeletal health and addressing issues like cystitis and colds through its diuretic and diaphoretic actions. Furthermore, elm bark may contribute to improved blood clotting and potentially lower cholesterol levels.
