Organic Slippery Elm Bark is harvested from the slippery elm tree, native to the Eastern and Central United States and Canada. This bark is renowned for its high mucilage content, which gives it its signature “slippery” texture. It is a natural remedy that has been cherished for centuries for its ability to calm sore throats and gastrointestinal upset. It is also used topically for skin care, making it an ideal ingredient for tinctures, teas, and throat lozenges.

Slippery elm

is a tree that is native to North America. It is especially common in the Appalachian Mountain region. Because it can reach a height of more than 50 feet, it’s considered a shade-producing tree. Slippery elm is also quite hardy. Left undisturbed, the tree can live as long as 200 years.

The “slippery” part of the common name comes from the mucilaginous lining of the bark, which is the only part of the tree harvested. Native Americans applied the freshly shredded pith as bandages and made infusions from the dried material. The demulcent qualities of the mucilage provides a protective film for irritated, inflamed tissue, both internally and externally.
