Korean Elm Bark (Yugeunpi / Ulmus Rubra) – 3.5oz / 100g

Nature’s Soothing Comfort for Stomach & Nose

Korean Elm Bark, known locally as Yugeunpi (유근피) or the "Nose Tree," has been a cherished remedy in Korean folk tradition for generations. Harvested from the root bark of the Slippery Elm tree, it is famous for its unique slippery texture when brewed. This natural mucilage provides a gentle coating effect, making it highly regarded for soothing sensitive digestive systems and maintaining comfort in the nasal passages.

Why Choose Korean Yugeunpi?

Our Yugeunpi is sourced from clean, mountainous regions in Korea. It is carefully dried to preserve its high mucilage content, which is the key indicator of quality.

• Natural Coating (Mucilage): When boiled, the bark releases a thick, gel-like substance that coats and soothes the stomach lining and throat.
• Digestive Wellness: Ideal for enjoying after meals or when your stomach feels unsettled, offering a calming sensation.
• Nasal Comfort: Traditionally nicknamed the "Nose Tree," the tea is frequently consumed during changing seasons to help keep nasal passages moist and comfortable.

Brewing Instructions (Important)

To extract the beneficial mucilage (the slippery substance), a proper decoction method is recommended.

• Rinse: Gently wash 20–30g of the bark under running water.
• Boil: Place the bark in a pot with 1.5 to 2 liters of water.
• Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30–60 minutes. The water will turn a reddish color and may become slightly thick or slippery (this is normal and good!).
• Serve: Drink warm. For everyday water, you can dilute it. If the taste is too earthy, add jujube or licorice root.
