Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) is a medium-sized forest tree native to North America, and its inner bark contains a starchy carbohydrate substance known as mucilage. When mixed with water, this mucilage swells and forms a slippery gel. Mucilage is commonly used as a soothing demulcent, offering support for mucous membranes, throat soothing, and promoting healthy digestion.
