Slippery Elm bark is tough, yet flexible, and has a fibrous texture. Slippery Elm Inner Bark Powder smells similar to Fenugreek and has a very mucilaginous consistency when mixed with water. The soothing mucilage has been made as tea or used in ointments, poultices, throat lozenges and skin care products. Some have tried the powder added to cereal, oatmeal and apple sauce.
