Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra), known as Olmo Resbaladizo, is a traditional inner bark used in Western herbal practices for its soothing and protective properties. When mixed with water, it naturally forms a mucilaginous gel that coats and comforts irritated tissues.
This unique demulcent action has made Slippery Elm a long-standing botanical ally for supporting comfort in the digestive and respiratory tracts.
Handcrafted and packaged in Puerto Rico.
