It may help to relieve occasional digestive discomfort and provides mucilage, which may soothe the throat and digestive tract.

Mucilage is an easily digestible long chain of sugars (polysaccharides) that make a slippery substance when combined with water. Historically, early American settlers used slippery elm as a survival food; George Washington and his troops survived for several days on slippery elm gruel during the bitter winter at Valley Forge. It may also be used externally as a poultice for the skin. Bulk: Mix 1 or 2 heaping teaspoon(s) in 8 oz. of pure water or juice. Label Description: Herbal DietarySupplement
