Slippery Elm is derived from a native tree in North America. KIKI has selected the finest organic farm that is tended by the native tribes, ensuring that the trees are harvested at their optimum period using ancient traditions. Only the inner bark of the slippery elm tree is used to create this fine cream coloured powder. Once harvested the bark is dried at low temperatures to retain as much of the nutrients as possible and then milled into a fine powder. Slippery elm has been used in herbal remedies in North America for centuries, both orally and in healing salves. When applied externally, it is valued for its soothing and protective properties, helping to calm irritated skin, support wound healing, and relieve minor burns, rashes, and inflammation.
