This afternoon’s garden task was a first for me! 🌿😄 With my wonderful husband by my side (because digging is not my favourite task!) we harvested one of our beautiful 2-year-old marshmallow plants from the herb garden🌸
Right now is the perfect time to dig them up, as their medicinal properties are concentrated deep in the roots, making them especially potent for herbal use😉
Marshmallow root is a true herbal superstar and one i'd never seen or knew much about until I studied herbalism.
It's known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory and demulcent properties. It’s wonderful for supporting digestive health, calming sore throats and nourishing skin too! Just what we need heading into winter.
Next I'll be dehydrating these precious roots for use in teas and skin-care products! 🌱✨
Here are some pics of the plant back in summer, as well as today; before, during and after root harvesting!
SO...Dehydrated Marshmallow Root will soon be available on the website!!☺️🌿🌸
