Marshmallow Root

Description

Marshmallow root is an herb used to improve skin health, treat common colds, and much more. Marshmallow root has been used for more than 2,000 years all over the world. When taken orally, marshmallow root has antitussive properties that soothe a sore throat and coughing, reduce swollen lymph nodes, and reduce healing time. Marshmallow root also acts as an enzyme by loosening mucus and reducing bacteria. The best way to overcome a cold quickly is to take marshmallow root. It provides mucilage, which is a thick, gummy substance, to reduce swelling and kill bacteria. Mucilage layers on the inside of the digestive tract and prevent future irritation. Mucilage is a natural way to keep skin hydrated. Hydration is important in skincare because it reduces fine lines. Marshmallow root becomes gooey when mixed with water. This gooey mix, coats the esophagus and throat, allowing the anti-inflammatory properties to soothe irritated muscles and mucous membranes. However, marshmallow root will heal and prevent acid reflux while providing immediate and long-term acid relief.
