While cancer treatment is an inexact science, many patients have found relief using the herbal remedy Essiac - which has slippery elm as one of the primary active ingredients. The inner bark can be used as both a treatment and as secondary prevention.
Some studies indicate that when slippery elm bark is paired with burdock root, Indian rhubarb, and sheep sorrel, it may improve conditions for women with breast cancer, including alleviating the feeling of depression and fighting fatigue. It is also used to help control the negative side effects of more traditional cancer treatments.
