Info: 50 ml Tincture
Actual marshmallow, the herb, is nothing like the puffy sugary candy that received its name, although it was once a main ingredient in French confectionery. Its powdered roots are known for their mucilaginous properties – they become gooey when mixed with water, which can coat and soothe inflamed tissues – which makes it ideal for relieving dryness or irritation in the respiratory system, particularly to relieve the irritation of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa and associated dry cough.
