MARSHMALLOW ROOT

PRODUCT INFORMATION 

Improve Digestion
Research suggests that marshmallow root can prevent ulcers from forming.  The herb may also repair the membranes that line the intestines and may even stimulate tissue regeneration. 

Heal a Sore Throat or Dry Cough
Check the package of your go-to natural cough drops and you’ll probably see marshmallow root listed as one of the ingredients. That same sticky sap that makes the herb such a good skin reliever may help heal scratchy throats or a hacking cough.

Prevent Cardiovascular Disease
A research study on rats suggested that ingesting extracts from the marshmallow flower could help reduce inflammation and increase HDL cholesterol (the good kind). These effects could help prevent heart attack and stroke.

Increase Breast Milk Supply
For generations, marshmallow root has been considered to be a galactagogue (an ingredient that is thought to increase milk supply).  You’ll find the herb in many supplements that support breastfeeding.  

Prevent Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
The liquid from the marshmallow root may act as a diuretic, helping to flush toxins out of the body.  Research suggests it may also calm irritation within the urinary tract.
