Marshmallow Root Tea Organic

Marshmallow Root - Althea Officinalis

Marshmallow Root is a unique herb that has been used for centuries because of it's abundance of natural healing properties. In ancient times the marshmallow root was used to treat a variety of ailments and conditions. The Greek name Althea literally means "to heal". It is also known as a 'demulcent' herb which means it contains polysaccharides that have antitussive, mucilaginous, and antibacterial properties. It works as a mucilage, producing a thick sticky substance that coats membranes and contains anti-inflammatory properties. It can cool and soothe the body and is great for skin, hair and digestion. 

Add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of leaves to a cup of hot water and allow to infuse for 2-3 minutes before straining and serving. Ensure the tea has cooled adequately before presenting it to your dog.
