Marshmallow root c/s Organic

Organic marshmallow root, cut and sifted (c/s), is derived from the marshmallow plant (Althaea officinalis), a perennial herb with a long history of use in traditional medicine. The root contains a high concentration of mucilage, a gel-like substance that swells when mixed with water. This mucilage is the key therapeutic component of marshmallow root, known for its soothing and protective properties. When used internally, marshmallow root is often brewed into a tea or decoction to help soothe and coat the mucous membranes of the throat, stomach, and digestive tract. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of conditions such as sore throat, cough, and digestive issues.

In addition to its internal uses, marshmallow root can also be used externally. When made into a poultice or infused into oils, it is believed to help soothe skin irritations such as burns, wounds, and insect bites. The root's anti-inflammatory and emollient properties make it a popular ingredient in natural skincare products. Organic marshmallow root is prized for its purity and lack of synthetic chemicals, ensuring a high-quality product for both internal and external applications.
