Nourishing • Soothing • Protective

Slippery elm is a native North American medicine used for generations by Indigenous peoples and later in African American folk tradition, where it was cooked into a gruel for the sick and the weak. Rich in mucilage, it coats and soothes the tissues of the digestive tract, throat and respiratory system.

Traditional Uses:

  • Soothing the digestive lining
  • Supporting regular elimination
  • Comforting the throat
  • Gentle nourishment during recovery

Sold by the ounce.

How to Use: Often prepared as a cold infusion, gruel, or powder mixed into water, tea or food. Take two hours apart from medications, since it may slow their absorption.
