Planetary Herbals ~ Slippery Elm Lozenges

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.—Planetary Herbals released Slippery Elm Lozenges, based on the inner bark of the slippery elm tree, a natural ingredient used by the Native Americans. The lozenge is a natural way to soothe dry, tired, aching throats. Planetary Herbals herbalist Roy Upton says, "Native Americans used the bark for many purposes, but modern people primarily appreciate the soothing properties of the tree for moistening the throat; it is a prime choice of singers because it contains no harsh ingredients that affect the vocal chords." Planetary Herbals offers Slippery Elm Lozenges in four varieties: strawberry, tangerine, unflavored, and tangerine with echinacea and vitamin C for added immune support.
