It is extremely versatile, providing relief from a number of ailments, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and sore throats.Elm is also known as Ulmus fulma, Red Elm, Sweet Elm, Moose Elm, Indian Elm, Gray Elm, and Soft Elm.
Slippery elm bark consists of a substance known as mucilage. This includes both campestral and beta-sitosterol in its makeup. This substance has been used for hundreds of years for coughs and sore throats. It has a very powerful ability to soothe all the mucous membranes of the body. The mucilage in the inner bark of the tree has the ability to expand when exposed to liquid as in the throat or breathing passages. This has a very soothing effect on those areas.
