Slippery Elm
Slippery elm comes from trees native to North America. It’s harvested from the inner bark, and true to its name has a slippery texture when mixed with liquid. This makes it ideal for soothing irritated tissues: sore throats, irritated digestive tracts, respiratory issues, coughs, dry mouth, etc.
Slippery elm is also highly nutritious and has a mild, sweet flavor. You can make it into a nutritious porridge or use it as a tea or lozenges.
