    Slippery Elm

    Native Americans found innumerable medicinal and other uses for this tree. Canoes, baskets, and other household goods were made from the tree and its bark. Slippery elm was also used internally for conditions such as sore throats and diarrhea. As a poultice, it was considered a remedy for many inflammatory skin conditions



    The mucilage of slippery elm, found in the inner bark, gives it the soothing effect for which it is known. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect locally in the stomach and intestines. Take upto 1 gram of slippery elm daily, preferably 20 minutes before food.
