Slippery elm is a botanical plant species known for its medicinal properties and traditional uses. It is a broad-leaved deciduous tree which is native to North America. The inner bark of the tree is used to prepare a range of health remedies, including teas, tinctures, capsules, and poultices.
Medicinal Uses:
Soothes digestive issues: Slippery elm is a demulcent and mucilaginous herb, meaning it produces a slippery and viscous substance when mixed with water. This substance coats and soothes the lining of the digestive tract, reducing inflammation and irritation. Slippery elm can be used to alleviate symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, gastritis, and ulcerative colitis.
Relieves sore throat and cough: Slippery elm can be made into a tea or lozenge and used to soothe a sore throat and calm a cough. Its mucilage forms a protective layer over the throat, reducing irritation and inflammation.
Promotes wound healing: Slippery elm is a natural source of antioxidants and has antimicrobial properties, making it effective in promoting wound healing. It can be used topically on minor burns, cuts, and scrapes.
Supports respiratory health: Slippery elm is often used as a natural remedy for respiratory conditions, such as asthma, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
Nourishes the skin: Slippery elm can be used in skincare products to moisturize and nourish the skin. Its mucilage forms a protective barrier that helps to retain moisture and soothe dry and irritated skin.
Magical Uses:
Protection: It is believed to offer protection against negative energies, evil spirits and bad luck.
Healing: The slippery elm bark is considered to have powerful healing properties for physical, emotional and spiritual issues.
Purification: It is said to purify the body, mind and spirit, and remove any negative energies or blockages.
