Marshmallow Root 50g (Lekra-SET)

Title: Marshmallow Root 50g (Lekra-SET)

Description:

Marshmallow root boasts potent anti-inflammatory, demulcent (soothing), expectorant, and cough-suppressing properties. It’s traditionally used for respiratory and digestive ailments. Aqueous infusions are effective for inflammatory conditions of the airways and throat, particularly those involving difficult expectoration. This includes tonsillitis, tracheitis, stomatitis, gingivitis, and glossitis. Marshmallow root effectively reduces coughing, increases mucus production to facilitate its removal, and provides relief in acute and chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, pulmonary tuberculosis, emphysema, and acute respiratory infections. In cases of esophagitis, gastritis, peptic ulcers (both stomach and duodenal), enterocolitis, food poisoning, and dysentery, marshmallow root serves as a valuable adjuvant therapy. For acute gastrointestinal disorders, especially those with diarrhea, the mucilaginous infusion, rich in starch, acts as both a therapeutic and nutritive agent. Internally, marshmallow root infusion is also prescribed for eczema, psoriasis, neurodermatitis, and dermatitis to support metabolic balance.
