What Is Wildcrafting?

Wildcrafting refers to the practice of harvesting plants from their natural, wild habitats rather than from cultivated farms. This method aims to support the sustainability of wild plant populations while providing a product that grows in its native environment. The slippery elm inner bark in this product is sourced from trees in North America, where the species is native.

How to Uses

Slippery elm powder can be used to make a hot drink or as an ingredient in herbal preparations. To prepare a tea, stir about one teaspoon of powder into a cup of hot water and let it steep for a few minutes. It can be flavoured with honey or lemon if desired. For external uses, the powder can be mixed with water to create a poultice for minor skin irritations. Always consult a health care professional before uses, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.

Storage

To maintain quality, store the powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The resealable bag is convenient, but transferring the powder to a glass jar can help extend its shelf life. Always uses a dry spoon to avoid introducing moisture. When stored properly, the powder retains its quality for up to two years.
