Red Juniper Berry Tea – Juniperus oxycedrus

MARSHMALLOW TEA — ALTHAEA OFFICINALIS

Marshmallow is known for something unusual in the botanical world: its high concentration of mucilage, a group of water-binding polysaccharides that form a smooth, gel-like layer when hydrated. This characteristic explains much of the plant’s historical use for the throat, digestive tract and irritated mucous membranes.

BENEFITS OF MARSHMALLOW TEA
Soothes the Throat ~ The mucilage in Althaea officinalis coats the throat’s mucosal surface, helping soothe dryness, irritation and the discomfort associated with a dry cough.
Digestive Comfort ~ Its polysaccharide-rich mucilage forms a temporary protective layer over the gastrointestinal mucosa, making marshmallow particularly interesting when the stomach or digestive tract feels sensitive.
Supports Mucosal Protection ~ Marshmallow contains arabinogalactans, rhamnogalacturonans and other polysaccharides capable of retaining water and creating its characteristic soothing texture.
Naturally Rich in Plant Compounds ~ Alongside mucilage, marshmallow contains flavonoids, phenolic acids and phytosterols, contributing to its broader botanical profile.
Gentle Respiratory Support ~ Its demulcent properties make marshmallow tea especially useful when the throat feels dry or irritated and a soothing herbal infusion is desired.

HOW TO PREPARE
Add marshmallow to water and allow sufficient time for its mucilage-rich compounds to hydrate and infuse. Strain before drinking.

The result is a naturally mild, smooth herbal infusion that can be enjoyed as part of your daily botanical routine.
