These studies suggest that Slippery Elm is generally considered safe, but its efficacy as an alternative medicine lacks scientific evidence.
Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), also known as Red Elm or Indian Elm, is an herbal medicine derived from the inner bark of the tree. It has been traditionally used to treat various inflammatory conditions, particularly those affecting the upper airway. Despite its widespread anecdotal use, scientific evidence regarding its safety and efficacy remains limited.

Genetic Diversity and Conservation:
Slippery elm has a long history of traditional use for treating inflammatory conditions, particularly in the upper airway. However, there is a significant lack of scientific evidence supporting its safety and efficacy. While it is biochemically well-characterized, its benefits remain largely anecdotal. Additionally, the species has shown resilience in maintaining genetic diversity despite disease pressures, which may be beneficial for its future conservation.
