Native to North America, Slippery Elm’s inner bark was very popular among both Native Americans and European settlers. They used it to improve the flavour of game, to prevent lard or butter from turning rancid, as a flour extender, and as a jelly thickener. Today, it is also used a main ingredient in throat lozenges due to its ability to absorb up to 10 times its weight in water, forming a gel.

In tea form, Slippery Elm Bark makes a very mild drink and has a sweet aroma with an earthy taste.
