Slippery elm, scientifically known as Ulmus rubra, is a tree native to North America. Its inner bark has been used in Native American and folk medicine for centuries due to its abi lity to form a slick, mucilaginous substance when mixed with water. This soothing gel coats and protects irritated tissues in the throat, stomach, and intestines. The name “slippery” comes from the texture of the bark when it’s mixed with water. It’s not just a descriptive term—it’s this very slipperiness that makes it so effective in healing and soothing the mucous membranes throughout the body. Show more
