Organic Marshmallow Root, dried, cut

Marshmallow, Althaea officinalis, is famous for (among other things) its mucilaginous qualities. It produces a slippery substance that folks sometimes use to soothe sore throats. It can be easily made into a tea/infusion, for that purpose.

(It's good to be aware that this herb can affect the way that some medications are absorbed, and that it should be consumed with at least 8 oz. of water. That's why we always recommend consulting with your own health care professionals, when deciding to incorporate herbs into your own routines. We are not health care practitioners. This information is included to give you a starting point and to highlight important details for your continued learning.)
