Organic slippery elm bark is harvested from the tree and the high mucilage content results in the “slippery” factor. A primary slippery elm bark benefit includes being used as a soothing agent for sore throats and coughs when used as a tincture, tea or throat lozenge. Organic slippery elm bark powder can be used to make soothing ointments, lotions, creams and other topical preparations for the skin. Bulk slippery elm bark powder can also be encapsulated as a dietary supplement or combined with hot water, cinnamon and sugar to make a gruel, or hot cereal.
