Cough and sore throat remedies with marshmallow

Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis), thanks to its soothing properties, is used since 1000 B.C. to heal sore throat and cough.
The root, which once was powdered to make candies, is the part used since it contains all the active principles. It’s also a sweet way to aid children’s bowel and refresh the digestive system.

Marshmallow root decoction: boil a cup of water and put a tsp of marshmallow root. Let it boil for 5 minutes. Then switch it off and let it infuse for 5 more minutes. Drink 3-4 cups per day.
