Slippery Elm - Powder - Ulmus rubra

Ulmus rubra is a large deciduous tree native to eastern North America and a member of the Ulmaceae family. Its inner bark has been valued in traditional North American herbal practices for generations, particularly for its naturally mucilaginous character. Our Slippery Elm Powder is finely milled from the inner bark of Ulmus rubra.

When combined with water, slippery elm develops a naturally smooth and thick consistency. This distinctive quality has made the bark a versatile ingredient in traditional food, beverage, and topical preparations. Historically, the inner bark was also incorporated into nourishing foods and various practical applications.

The powdered form provides an easy way to incorporate slippery elm into herbal preparations and body-care recipes. It can be blended with liquids or combined with other botanical ingredients according to the intended use.

Precautions
