Native American peoples used it as both food and medicine — as a survival food during lean times, a poultice for wounds and skin conditions, and a remedy for digestive complaints. Early American settlers quickly adopted it, and legend has it that troops at Valley Forge survived harsh winter conditions partly on slippery elm gruel. The secret to slippery elm’s remarkable versatility lies in its extraordinarily high mucilage content. When the powdered bark comes into contact with water, it swells into a thick, gel-like substance that acts as a demulcent — coating and soothing irritated mucous membranes wherever it travels. This makes it uniquely effective for the entire length of the digestive tract, from the throat and oesophagus right through to the stomach, small intestine, and colon. The inner bark — not the outer bark — is the medicinally active part, containing the highest concentration of mucilaginous compounds.
