Soothe Your Lungs: How to Make a Potent Marshmallow Infusion
I love marshmallow (not the confection but the plant) for its cooling, soothing, and moistening qualities; plus it’s handsome in the garden. And it makes an excellent upper respiratory remedy.
Marshmallow is a perennial of the Malvaceae family, scientifically called Althaea officinalis. Althaea means to heal. Officinalis means used in medicine. Althaea officinalis translates to “to heal and use as medicine”.
This is an important herb to have on hand for soothing lungs. I often include it in herbal formulas and suggest you have some on hand too.
