Slippery Elm is one of the best-known and frequently used herbs. It was essentially the food and medicine of the American Pioneers and the American Red Indians. Many pioneer families used it as food when nothing else was available to save them from starving. Over the years it has become one of the most valued remedies in herbal medicine.

The inner bark of the Slippery Elm is tough and flexible with a fine, fibrous texture. It has an odour somewhat like Fenugreek and has a mucilaginous, insipid taste. When ground to a fine powder this bark makes an excellent flour extender and can be used in a variety of recipes.

Slippery Elm contains mucilage, a slimy, smooth chemical compound that gives the herb its emollient and demulcent properties. It is soothing to irritated and inflamed surfaces, such as mucous membranes. 

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.

Slippery Elm is a marvellous meal for people or animals with stomach ulcers or who are taking chemo drugs such as Prednisolne. Pred has the unfortunate side effect of creating damaging ulcers throughout the digestive tract. This can be prevented by giving adequate doses of Slippery Elm.
