Slippery Elm uses the inner bark, which contains mucilage, a long chain of sugars (polysaccharides) that make a slippery substance when combined with water. Slippery Elm is rich in nutrients and is easy to digest, making it an excellent food during times of digestive discomfort. Slippery Elm works with the body to draw out impurities and toxins, which may assist with the healing. Slippery Elm's coating action soothes the tissues of the intestines, colon and urinary tract.
