The inner bark of the Slippery Elm tree has been used as a herbal remedy for centuries. Native Americans traditionally used Slippery Elm to soothe an irritated or unsettled stomach. On contact with water, Slippery Elm powder becomes mucilaginous in texture which accounts for the majority of its medicinal properties. It has demulcent (soothing) actions on mucous membranes, including those of the digestive tract, urinary and respiratory systems.
