Marshmellow Tea
The young leaves of the marshmallow plant are edible, offering natural “mucilage” - a type of soft fibre that swells when combined with water. This “slippery” quality forms a protective thick coating around membranes. They contain flavonoids including kaempferol, quercetin, and diosmetin glucosides; additionally, the leaves contain the coumarin scopoletin and phenolic acids including syringic acid, caffeic acid, salicylic acid, and vanillic acid.
Benefits: Anti-viral, anti-bacterial and mucilaginous - soothing respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts. Traditionally used externally as a soothing poultice for wounds and burns.
Ingredients: Althea officinalis
Origin: Macedonia
Brewing: 1tsp per 250ml of hot water, let it stand for 3 -4 mins, add milk or have it black with a dash of honey.
Storage: away from odors in a cool dry place.
**All packaging is made in Australia or locally. Bags are biodegradable with a cornstarch film window. Remove tin top and recycle. Labels are printed on 100% recycled paper with plant-based ink**
