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 it to dry over wounds. Many tribes also wrapped slippery elm around stored food to prevent spoilage. Slippery elm also served as food during famines and was used to make porridge for small children and elderly persons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chopped bark is suitable for poultices.

Up to 5 tablespoons (15 grams) of slippery elm bark can be dissolved in a cup (240 ml) of water.

Avoid taking it with other medications, as the mucilage can prevent proper absorption. Make sure to drink plenty of water when taking slippery elm bark powder or capsules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor educational purposes, this information has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
