Marshmellow root

Marshmellow root is an important herb for anyone with digestive problems. Marshmellow root is a demulcent which means it can sooth irritated or damaged tissues within the body. Torn ligaments, an irritated bowel lining, strained muscles - these can all benefit from incorporating marshmallow root into your regiman.
I use marshmallow root for my cat with urinary tract problems. I have the whole root and crush it to powder with a morter and pestal (I do suggest buying the powder to save time). I take a pinch and sprinkle this in his meal every morning and evening. He has been plagued mostly by urinary crystals which can cause an irritated bladder lining, so the marshmallow root may help this inflammation decrease and become less painful.
