CAUTION!!!!! DO NOT USE SLIPPERY ELM TEA UNTIL TALKING TO YOUR DOCTOR!!!!!!! Drinking Indian sassafras tea to heal your ailments was a philosophy used by Native Americans, pioneers, and is still believed to be true in this modern day. It could be called the Wonder Tree or the Magic Tree or the Medical Tree. As far back as records show the Native Americans and the pioneers used the inner bark of the Slippery Elm Tree for food to survive and for a medicine to heal.. Wilderness survival bush craft,Camping tips, I found out that in the hot fire will clean the Mercury from the Limestone.

    Limestone is an alkaline agent with the ability to neutralize, or partially neutralize strong acids. The neutralization process occurs when strong acids, in intimate contact with limestone rock, react with Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3, the primary constituent of limestone) to form water, carbon dioxide and calcium salts. The following depicts the neutralization of hydrochloric acid by limestone.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge and life with us. What was the sassafras tea used for? Was there a specific ailment that it was used to treat? I’ve seen the root bark used (for a tonic) as well as the leaves and young twigs, but not the part that you’re using.

  25. 25 tim3jones said at 6:08 am on November 11th, 2010:

    @docsimonson good for purifying blood and good for fighting rheumatic and arthritic, But pregnant women, nursing mothers and also, those with heart and kidney problems are advised against drinking sassafras tea.
