How does marshmallow affect the functioning of the body?
Marshmallow herb contains about 10% mucus, and in addition also anti-inflammatory compounds, minerals, tannins and essential oils. Marshmallow supports the body in various diseases by:

- coating the mucous membranes with a protective layer
- soothing irritations and accelerating the regeneration of minor injuries or ulcers
- facilitating expectoration and alleviating dry cough in diseases of the upper respiratory tract
- supporting digestion and intestinal transit, preventing diarrhea and helping in its treatment

When is it worth using marshmallow?
For drinking and rinsing the mouth and throat, marshmallow is recommended even for children, as it is well tolerated and has a pleasant, mild taste. It is used in the case of coughing, irritation and scratching in the throat, bronchitis, and even as an aid to relieve the symptoms of asthma. In addition, it is also used in diseases of the digestive system such as ulcers and hyperacidity.

Marshmallow is also used externally. Thanks to the mucilages contained in it and substances with a mild disinfecting effect, it accelerates the healing of wounds and burns, can be used for ulcers and varicose veins, as well as to soften excessively calloused skin and soothe various types of inflammation. Marshmallow macerate can also be the base of a mask for tired and dehydrated skin.


Usage
Marshmallow herb works best in the form of a macerate. To prepare it, pour a tablespoon of dried marshmallow in a glass of water and leave it for at least half an hour, or even for several hours. After straining, we get a drinkable liquid. It should be used 2-3 times a day. In turn, as a compress for skin changes, soaked leaves - drained and wrapped in gauze - will be useful.
