A member asked:
Have heard the benefits of slippery elm bark for throat and lung irritation, but i have allergies to elm and tree pollen. should i avoid or ok to take?

Different: The bark of a tree is totally different from pollen from the same and is rarely allergenic. Whether it works for your throat or lung is another issue.
