Marshmallow is known for its soothing properties, especially for the throat and
digestive system. It helps reduce inflammation, ease coughs, and promote overall
digestive health.
Effects:
A versatile herb with a rich history, Marshmallow root has been used for centuries to
soothe irritated mucous membranes, making it a popular remedy for sore throats and
digestive discomfort. It creates a soothing, protective layer in the throat and stomach,
providing relief from coughs, acid reflux, and other irritations.
Usage:
To make marshmallow tea, steep 1-2 teaspoons of the dried root in cold water for
several hours or overnight, then strain and enjoy. Its subtle flavor can be enhanced
with honey or added to a warm herbal tea blend. Marshmallow root can also be used
topically in poultices to soothe skin irritation. Begin with small amounts and adjust to
your preference
