What Is Slippery Elm & What Are Its Benefits?

Slippery elm, or Ulmus rubra, is an herbal remedy from the inner bark of the elm tree. The bark consists of mucilage, which, when mixed with water, creates a slick, mucus like substance. It is this mucus substance that provides slippery elm with its protective, soothing shield. Slippery elm coats the mucus membranes in the oesophagus, stomach, and intestines to help support the digestive system. It also works to calm inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. Because slippery elm is a natural, plant substance, it is safe for pretty much anyone to use daily.
