Introducing Ulmus rubra, also known as Red Elm or Slippery Elm – a deciduous tree that can grow up to 20 meters in height. Its heartwood has a reddish-brown tone, setting it apart from the American Elm. The tree bears clusters of oval-winged samaras and rough-textured leaves with a coarse double-serrate margin. Slippery Elm bark has a high value in herbal remedies as a gentle yet effective treatment for irritated mucous membranes in the chest, urinary tubules, stomach, and intestines. The inner bark is harvested in spring and dried before being ground into fine or coarse powders for internal and external use. Slippery Elm bark is also recognized as part of the formula for a popular North American cancer treatment. Its demulcent, diuretic, expectorant, and nutritive properties make it a valuable addition to medicinal remedies. Shop Ulmus rubra now and discover its healing benefits.
