Slippery Elm Bark Powder | Organic | Kosher
Slippery elm bark, harvested from the inner bark of Ulmus rubra, is a soothing and versatile herbal remedy with a rich history in Native American traditions. This deciduous tree, native to North America, thrives from Texas to Quebec and has been cherished for its healthful and functional properties. Known for its mucilaginous texture when mixed with water, slippery elm bark provides a comforting and gentle option for various herbal applications.
How to Use It:

Add 1-2 teaspoons of powdered slippery elm bark to hot water and stir well to create a smooth, mucilaginous tea. Sip slowly to coat and comfort the throat or digestive tract.

DIY Throat Lozenges:

Whether enjoyed as tea, incorporated into skincare routines, or used for herbal preparations, slippery elm bark is a gentle, time-honored herbal ally for your wellness journey.
KHS Recommends:
- Always pair slippery elm bark with at least 8 oz (250 mL) of liquid for optimal effectiveness.
- Take orally administered drugs either one hour before or several hours after consuming slippery elm, as its mucilage may slow absorption.
Precautions:
Consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
