-
Soothes Digestive Issues:
Marshmallow root contains mucilage, a gelatinous substance that coats the digestive tract, reducing irritation and promoting healing for conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, and gastritis. -
Supports Respiratory Health:
Its anti-inflammatory and demulcent properties help alleviate throat irritation, coughs, and bronchial congestion by soothing mucous membranes. -
Skin Health:
When applied topically or consumed, it can calm irritated or inflamed skin, assisting with conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and minor wounds. -
Urinary Health:
It may act as a mild diuretic, supporting urinary tract health and alleviating discomfort caused by infections or inflammation. -
Anti-Inflammatory Effects:
The root’s natural compounds can reduce inflammation, promoting overall wellness.
Usage Tips:
- It’s often brewed into tea, mixed into smoothies, or encapsulated as a supplement.
- For topical applications, it can be added to DIY skincare formulations.
Precautions: While generally safe, consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or on medications.
