Wholesale Marshmallow Root Elixir

Soothes the digestive & urinary tracts. Supports the respiratory system.* Botanical Name: Althea officinalis. Part Used: Fresh root. About Marshmallow Elixir: This beautiful mallow has soft, fuzzy leaves with tiny white and light-purple flowers that attract hummingbirds and bees. We dig the white root either early in spring, or later in fall (once the ripened seeds are collected and scattered), from plants that are 3-4 years old. It's possible to feel the moistening quality of the roots by the way one's fingers glide and slip along the roots. This mucilage comes from the polysaccharides that soothe and lubricate the mucosa of the body with a special affinity for the gastrointestinal/digestive tract, respiratory system, and urinary tract.
