Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) is native
to specific portions of North America. It grows in eastern Canada
and the eastern and central United States.
Slippery elm has been employed in traditional herbal medicine for
over 100 years. The dried inner portion of the slippery elm bark has
been used both by Native Americans and early settlers. Slippery elm
is a nutritious food that was made into a type of pudding for those
who had weak stomachs. In times of famine early American settlers
used slippery elm as a survival food; it is said George Washington
and his troops survived for several days on slippery elm gruel
during the bitter winter at Valley Forge.
Slippery elm has been shown to be soothing to irritated tissues and
has been used topically in poultices for its ability to enourage
healing in wounds.
Slippery elm supports the overall health of the adrenal glands,
gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system. It helps the body
expel excess mucus.
Slippery elm also known as Ulmus
rubra, Red Elm, Moose Elm, and Indian Elm.
