#History and #pharmacological activity of #Althaea #officinalis: from protecting the #cough #receptors to modulating the #immune #system
Researchers have not yet thoroughly investigated the effects of marsh-mallow root in humans. Most of the research to date has involved animal studies or very small-scale human studies, so more studies are necessary to confirm how effective the root is in humans, but based on its history of use the marsh-mallow plant is a well established system of traditional medicine for relieving symptoms of coughing and supporting the immune system while reducing intestinal #inflammation. I guess, if you have the #coronavirus and have to stay at home a marsh-mallow plant #tea…wouldn’t be a bad idea.
