It is the inner bark of the tree and can grow up to 50 feet! It's also known as Red Elm, Moose Elm or Indian Elm. It has been used as an herbal remedy in Native American culture since the 19th century. It relieves a num- ber of digestive issues and is rich in what we call mucilage, which is a substance that provides a coating when mixed with liquid. It also falls into the demulcent category which means....it coats the intestines & lin- ing of the stomach and can soothe irritated bowels. With that protec- tive coating, it helps to sooth and protects irritated body tissues in- cluding the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines. This makes it ideal for sore throats, coughs, GERD, bladder issues, Crohn's disease, IBS, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, UTI's and diarrhea. Lately it has become a very popular treatment for breast cancer and can also help to control the negative side effects of conventional breast can- cer treatments. It is an anti-infl am- matory and can boost the immune system. This gentle herb can also decrease urinary tract irritation, re- lieve acid refl ux, relieve toothaches and gum infections. It contains high levels of iron, encourages blood fl ow which can result in improving circu- lation. Slippery Elm can help relieve skin ailments as well. There are no known side effects, as it is a mainly a mucilage and is nu- trient dense. It is so gentle to the di- gestive system, it has been fed to the elderly or children if they are hav- ing digestive diffi culties. It's also a wholesome food for the weak, con- valescent and even pets.
