SILENCE a hacking cough with this Roman root trick

Well, we’re in the thick of it now.

Winter, I mean.

And while last year many of us were let off the hook when it came to cold and flu season… this year, upper respiratory infections are BACK.

It’s just what happens when you’re allowed to leave the house and try to return to “normal.”

Now, your respiratory complaints might be considered MINOR from a medical perspective…

But that doesn’t mean you’re not MISERABLE!

And there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do something to help you feel better – especially if it’s a drug-free alternative.

Today, I’ve got an ancient cure that could help you feel better… and maybe even help put a lid on a HACKING cough…

And the discomfort and irritation that follow.

Help for hoarseness

Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) has been used for millennia to SOOTHE mucous membranes…

Starting with sore throats…

And all the way down and out through the other end.

Once grown in medieval monasteries, the plant was eaten by ancient Romans, who considered it a delicacy… LONG before the French figured out how to turn it into a white puffy candy they called “la guimauve.”

There’s ZERO trace of the plant in today’s version of confectionary marshmallows…

But this “mallow of the marshes” hasn’t DISAPPEARED from herbal medicine.

You’ve read before right here in eAlert how marshmallow could help RESTORE and STRENGTHEN your gut lining…

But don’t forget about its original purpose… alleviating the symptoms of cough and cold.

It seems to work in 3 CRUCIAL ways: REDUCING inflammation

ENHANCING immune response to DEVOUR damaged or dead cells, debris, and pathogens (a.k.a. phagocytosis), and

ANNIHILATING infection-causing bacteria.

That’s not all…

It could also help HEAL the mucus membranes of your respiratory tract!

Marshmallow contains polysaccharides that create fibers that are famously sticky and slippery.

When these sugars mix with water, they form a gel-like protective coating called mucilage.

And that could really help COMFORT your raw, irritated throat.

Marshmallow does come in many different supplement forms…

But the MOST soothing trick for a sore throat or a cough from a tickle may be marshmallow teas… cough syrups… or lozenges.

In Germany, marshmallow is known as “eibisch”… and it’s available in the clinically studied cough syrup sold over the counter under the brand name “Phytohustil.”

It’s also an ingredient in the clinically studied “Hustenelixier” (cough syrup) sold by Weleda in Germany.
