Slippery elm (Ulmus fulva) has been used as an herbal remedy in North America for centuries. Native Americans used slippery elm in healing salves for wounds, boils, ulcers, burns, and skin inflammation. It was also taken orally to relieve coughs, sore throats, diarrhea, and stomach problems. By providing a gentle and natural source of estrogen-like compounds, slippery elm can help to regulate hormonal fluctuations and promote optimal health. #slipperyelm #castoroil #ibs #ulcer #barbaraoneill
