PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Slippery Elm, a prominent deciduous tree indigenous to North America, flourishes in the humid yet well-drained woodlands across the eastern regions of Canada and the United States. Reaching heights of up to sixty feet, this tree is now commonly found lining urban streets as well as in its natural forest habitats. The indigenous peoples of North America were the first to recognize the remarkable therapeutic attributes of the Slippery Elm. They observed that upon contact with water, the inner bark of the tree would release a mucilaginous substance that would expand, creating a soothing, emollient poultice. This mixture was historically used by Native Americans to facilitate wound healing, forming a natural bandage upon drying. Furthermore, they ingeniously employed Slippery Elm Bark to preserve meat, preventing spoilage.
