1:4 Introduction The slippery elm is a large, deciduous tree that is native to
North American from Texas to Manitoba, and from Florida to Quebec. When
growing in well-drained soils, it can reach a height of 60 feet (20 meters).
The inner bark of the branches is collected in spring for medicinal use.
Slippery elm bark added to hot water has a slippery and mucilaginous
consistency. Native Americans used soaked slippery elm bark as a natural
bandage, allowing to dry over wounds. Many tribes also wrapped slippery elm
around stored food to prevent spoilage. Slippery elm also served as a food
during famine and for making porridge for small children and elderly persons.
