Marshmallow Root

€2,48
Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) contains mucilage that swells when in contact with water, and then coat the membranes of internal organs and skin, bringing relief from irritation, ulceration and inflammation. They work perfectly on the throat and lower respiratory tract, as well as on the wall of the stomach and intestines. They are included in soluble fiber, and therefore have a positive effect on the regulation of bowel movements, as well as on the proper level of cholesterol and glucose in the blood.

Marshmallow has been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years. Hippocrates and Dioskurides mentioned it in ancient times as a herb that alleviates asthma symptoms and toothache, and finds external application after insect bites, as well as burns and skin irritations. In Polish folk medicine, marshmallow was called a forest or field mallow, mallow or zygmarek. It was used primarily for diseases of the respiratory system, as well as for gastric and intestinal ulcers, indigestion and diarrhea. Marshmallow was formerly not only a medicine, but also food for the ancient Egyptians, Syrians and Chinese. Its root and young leaves were eaten.
