Herb
Marshmallow Root
This soft, humble root has soothed scratchy throats and unsettled tummies for centuries with its gentle, coating nature.
🌱 What it is
Marshmallow root comes from a mallow plant that grows in marshy meadows, prized for the slippery, gel-like mucilage inside its root.
✨ How it may help
- May help support a soothed, coated feeling in a sore throat
- May help support relief from a dry, tickly cough
- May help support comfort in an irritated digestive tract
🥄 How to use it
Make a cool-water infusion, since the gentle coating survives best without heat, or sip it as a warm tea. Take it about an hour apart from any medicines.
⚖️ Caution
The coating can slow how the gut absorbs medicines, so take it an hour apart from any pills, choose a trusted brand, and stick to normal amounts with extra water.
🍃 A note from nature
Tucked in the mud of a marsh, this root holds a soft, coating comfort — a small proof that help can grow in unlikely places.
