Marshmallow Root is such a "soothing" herb for the entire body, from the throat clear through the entire digestion tract!
Brief History Used in 200 BC under the Greek name Althea of "to heal". The family name, Malvaceae comes from the Greek word malake or "soft" referring to the soft mucilaginous character of the plant. Theophrastus (c. 372-286 BC) reported that it was taken in sweet wine for coughs. Greek physician Hippocrates described the value of althea in the treatment of wounds. Dioscorides, another Greek physician, prescribed a vinegar infusion as a cure for toothaches and recommended a preparation of the seeds to soothe insect stings. Roman poet Horace, claimed the root and leaves had laxative properties. Renaissance period herbalists used "althea" (marshmallow root) for sore throats, stomach problems, gonorrhea, leukorrhea, and as a gargle for infections of the mouth. https://www.mdidea.com/products/new/new03707.html How Do I Use It?
