Slippery Elm Bark
(Ulmus rubra)

Product description
Slippery Elm Bark is the soothing guardian of healing, protection, and gentle renewal magic. Its mucilaginous inner bark carries a soft, binding energy—scatter shredded bark around your altar to form a protective barrier, steep it in a nourishing ritual bath to soothe emotional turbulence and strengthen the aura, or layer it beneath restorative candles to amplify feelings of safety and comfort.

Folklore Story
In Native American tradition, the Iroquois used Slippery Elm Bark to calm fevers and soothe the spirit. One legend tells of a traveling elder who, weakened by grief and illness, drank a decoction of the bark by a sacred spring—by dawn, his body and heart were renewed, and his people celebrated the bark as the “Peacekeeper’s Embrace.”
