Benefits and Side Effects of Slippery Elm Bark
A native to eastern North America, Elm trees may be found from Canada to Georgia, from Texas to Minnesota, but especially in the Appalachian Mountain region. The slippery elm is less affected by the Dutch elm disease that wiped out so may trees in the last few decades. It is also called Indian elm, red elm (because of the wood color), moose elm, and sweet elm.
The Slippery Elm grows to a height of 30 to 60 feet. The leaves are about 6 inches long, growing alternately on the branch, and have a rough texture and coarsely double-serrated edges. The flowers appear before the leaves in early spring in clusters of ten to twenty. The fruit is half an inch long containing a single central seed. Slippery Elm may be distinguished from American Elm by the hairiness of the buds and twigs and by the very short-stalked flowers.
Slippery elms have been the object of poachers because of the $23 billion dollar herb industry in the United States. From mid June to early July the bark is slippery and easy to peel. The trees are stripped and left to die while the bark is sold for great profit.
Some believe slippery elm has abortafaciant capabilities. When the bark is moistened and inserted into a pregnant woman's uterus, she may abort her baby. This practice resulted in so called "Elm Stick Laws" in many states limiting the size of the bark sold. Because slippery elm bark may have this effect, women who are pregnant or lactating should avoid using slippery elm. This is the only caution known in taking the herb.
Elm was popular to the early colonists for they used it to preserve grease, to make pudding, to thicken jelly, and as a mush for survival during long trips. They also used it as a medicine to treat coughs, skin injuries, intestinal worms, toothaches, gout, arthritis, and stomachaches.
The inner bark was also used to waterproof baskets, canoes, and dwellings. As mentioned above, in times of famine, early American settlers used it as a survival food. George Washington's troops survived partly on slippery elm gruel during their winter at Valley Forge.
The fibrous inner bark is a strong and durable fiber, which can be spun into thread, twine or rope. Once cured, the wood is ideal for making matchless fires with the bow drill method; the wood grinds into a very fine, flammable powder under friction. Slippery elm bark can also be used for jewelry, bowstrings, ropes, snowshoe bindings, clothing, woven mats, and can be used to make some musical instruments. The interlocking grain of the wood made it a natural shock absorber when used for the hubs of wagon wheels, for it acted as a natural shock absorber.
As an internal medication, slippery elm bark is a bulk herb that can be used to relieve ulcers and other gastrointestinal conditions and respiratory irritations. The bark has healing properties ideal for treating sore throats or suppressing coughing. External uses include treatment of hemorrhoids, skin conditions, and vaginitis. It has been proven effecting in giving smoother, softer skin.
Internally, adults should take three 500 mg capsules daily. To make tea, use one part slippery elm powder to eight parts water. You can also add the powder to oatmeal or juice. For a poultice, add coarse powdered bark to boiling water until the desired consistency is reached. Then apply to the needed area. The above herbal dosages are generally calculated for a 150 lb adult. Children's dosage should be calculated proportionally by weight.
So, get bulk herbs for sale and enjoy their life enhancing properties.
How can we locate natural hot springs on our property?
We have purchased a remote lot near Stanley Idaho.
There are hundrefs of natural hot springs in the county.
Is there an inexpensive way of locating a spring before drilling?
Depends on a lot of variables. I would start by searching for aerial photos of the property and doing a detailed walk around. Look for stressed vegetation, wet areas, etc. You may also see linear features if bedrock is near the surface (two connecting features would be a place to look initially). Try contacting an area geologist, or research it yourself by contacting the local USGS office or university (there's a lot of good publications on Idaho geology).
