The Slippery Elm is a small tree abundant in various parts of North America. The branches are very rough, the leaves long, unequally toothed, rough with hairs on both sides, the leaf-buds covered with a dense yellow Wool. The flowers are stalkless. The inner bark has important medicinal value and is an official drug of the United States Pharmacopoeia.

A Slippery Elm compound excellent for coughs is made as follows: Cut obliquely one or more ounces of bark (or you can use the bark powder) into pieces about the thickness of a match; add a pinch of Cayenne flavour with a slice of lemon and sweeten, infusing the whole in a pint of boiling water and letting it stand for 25 minutes. Take this frequently in small doses: for a consumptive patient, about a pint a day is recommended. It is considered one of the best remedies that can be given as it combines both demulcent and stimulating properties. Being mucilaginous, it rolls up the mucous material so troublesome to the patient and passes it down through the intestines.

Uses and Indications: Slippery elm is used to support gastrointestinal conditions, sore throats, and respiratory system. External uses are for various skin conditions and hemorrhoids. It can be used as a cough medicine or as a skin smoother and softener.

Dosage and Administration: Tea can be made with one part slippery elm bark or bark powder to eight parts water. It can also be added to oatmeal or juice. An infusion is recommended for nutritional supplementation; add 4 g of powdered bark to 500 ml of boiling water and take three times daily. For a poultice, add coarse powdered bark to boiling water. Apply topically. Do not use herbal product on children before talking to their physician. The same is recommended for adult usage
