Studies of the product: Marsh mallow is a very useful household
medicinal herb. Its soothing demulcent properties make it very effective
in treating inflammations and irritations of the mucous membranes such
as the alimentary canal, the urinary and the respiratory organs. The
root counters excess stomach acid, peptic ulceration and gastritis. It
is also applied externally to bruises, sprains, aching muscles, insect
bites, skin inflammations, splinters etc. The whole plant, but
especially the root, is antitussive, demulcent, diuretic, highly
emollient, slightly laxative and odontalgic. An infusion of the leaves
is used to treat cystitis and frequent urination.
