Slippery
Elm (Ulmus rubra) is native specific
portions of North America. It
grows in eastern Canada, and the
eastern and central United States.
Slippery Elm has been employed
in traditional herbal medicine
for over 100 years. The dried
inner portion of the slippery
elm bark has been used both by
Native Americans and early settlers.
Slippery Elm is a nutritious food
that was made into a type of pudding
for those who had weak stomachs.
In times of famine early American
settlers used slippery elm as
a survival food; it is said George
Washington and his troops survived
for several days on slippery elm
gruel during the bitter winter
at Valley Forge.
Slippery Elm has been shown to
be soothing to irritated tissues
and has been used topically in
poultices for its ability to enourage
healing in wounds.
Slippery Elm supports the overall
health of the adrenal glands,
gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory
system. It helps the body expel
excess mucus.
