It’s ethically sourced, non-GMO, vegan and Kosher-certified. When it comes to good-for-you ingredients, we simply won’t skimp. And neither should you. THE STORY BEHIND MARSHMALLOW Marshmallow root was used by the Egyptians and Greeks thousands of years ago. Today, herbal and Ayurveda practitioners use it for respiratory and intestinal benefits.This root is made primarily of carbohydrates, but it also contains amino acids and beneficial glycosides. Research shows that these constituents allow marshmallow root to exert a positive influence on irritated oral tissues and airways. RECOMMENDED USE Take 1 capsule with a meal twice daily.According to Mr. Steven Horne: The famous herbalist Pliny said, “ Whosoever shall take a spoonful of marshmallow, shall that day be free of all disease that may come to him. Pliny had good reason for making such a strong statement. Marshmallow is one of the best sources of easily-digested mucilage. Containing about 25-30% of these polysaccharides (mucilage), and about the same percentage of starch allows marshmallow to coat the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, lubricate the joints to protect them against irritation and dryness, and has a general cooling effect on excess heat conditions in the body. Even our own digestive fluids contain a lubricative quality that is reinforced by the mucilage of marshmallow, so that they work harmoniously as a powerful anti-inflammatory, diminishing inflammation of the kidneys and bladder, shrinking swollen glands and infected wounds, moistening dry stools and chronic constipation. Because the mucilage is not absorbable, it can then carry toxins from the bowel. Here are some of the conditions marshmallow has been used for. The more common uses are highlighted in bold type: Bed wetting, nosebleeds, blood in stool or urine, increase and enrich breast milk, bronchitis, cholera, coughs, cystic fibrosis, diarrhea, dryness, emphysema, enteritis, inflammation, eye irritation, gangrene, gonorrhea, kidney stones, ulcers, kidney and bladder inflammation, vomiting and whooping cough. It is most commonly used as a remedy to soothe the bowels, the kidneys and the lungs.
