Slippery Elm Bark, Powder, Wild Crafted 1 lbs Bulk

Product Description

This product is the powdered inner bark of the slippery elm tree. The quality of true slippery elm bark powder can be determined fairly easily by dissolving a sample in boiling water. The sample should produce a light brown to pinkish brown tea with a slippery feel between the fingers. Upon cooling the mixture coagulates slightly.

Slippery Elm is a small tree native to North America. The bark is harvested from the tree in the early spring and the outer bark is scraped off, leaving the mucilage-rich inner bark.

Suggested Use

The soothing mucilage is used in ointments, poultices, throat lozenges and skin care products.
