Slippery
Elm (Ulmus fulva)
Description...
Herbalists recommend
slippery elm to be used externally to ease wounds and skin problems, and internally to
soothe sore throats, coughing, and diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal disorders.
Slippery elm's active
ingredient is found in the white inner bark, whose mucilaginous cells expand into a spongy
consistency when mixed with water. It is easily digested and particularly good for the
young and the elderly to give them additional calcium.
