January 5, 2006

Hi guys, I used slippery elm before going to bed, and woke up worst than ever.. am not sure if anything wrong but today my throat feels very clogged up, I am a nervous wreck since I hate feeling this way.

anyway i bought the powdered form of slippery elm, and mix 2 tsp with water and drank it before going to bed and today my throat is like i said really clogged up, did I do anything wrong?

Vanessa,

2 teaspoons is a lot to start with. I would start for you with a small amount, say 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon, I like it in a yogurt base, and then build up to not more than a teaspoon at a time and maybe 2-3 times per day. It may very well be trying to heal your throat, which is quite inflamed. Slippery elm has an infinity to healing the mucosa in the throat. You really OD'd too fast on using it, start again slowly in a few days would be my advice.
