Welcome to Storytime with Herbal Roots zine! I'm Kristine Brown and I wrote this story to help you learn about herbs.
Today, I'm reading from Issue 01 - Mellow Marshmallow (February 2009) which you can find here: https://www.herbalrootszine.com/product/february-2009-mellow-marshmallow/
Marshmallows?! Am I talking about those white fluffy confections that you can melt over a campfire?
Yes and no!
A long time ago, Marshmallows were made by combining powdered Marshmallow root with a sweetener and other ingredients to make confections that children could suck on to soothe sore throats and dry coughs. The first marshmallow candies were made over 3,000 years ago in Egypt!
Needless to say, over time they became a popular treat and the Marshmallows you know today have no trace of the plant’s root in them!
Marshmallow has many medicinal actions still in use today in other forms as well.
Did you know that okra, hollyhocks, hibiscus, cacao and cotton are all related to Marshmallow? If you compare the plants, they all look really similar.
Marshmallow is sweet, moistening and cooling. The root is eaten as a vegetable in some parts of the world and contains calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, vitamins A, C and B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin, B3 (niacin), and N5 (pantothenic acid.
Besides helping with a sore throat and dry cough, marshmallow is soothing and cooling to our digestive and urinary tracts too!
A cold infusion of the root or leaf can help relieve constipation.
We can use marshmallow externally to sooth dry, irritated eyes or applied as a poultice to relieve skin conditions that are hot, dry, and irritated.
That’s just a few of the many things that Marshmallow can be used

Today, I'm reading from Issue 08 - Enchanting Elder (September 2009) which you can find here: https://www.herbalrootszine.com/product/september-2009-enchanting-elder/
You might be familiar with Elderberries, even if you haven’t ever used them.
Elderberries are well known for their use to help modulate the immune system which can help your body to fight off viruses.
With the berries’ high vitamin A and C content, elderberry syrup is great to have on hand in the winter to take as a prophylactic against wintertime ailments.
Elderberries and flowers are also antiviral. Elderflowers work great to help fight off colds and flus, as well as help to calm their symptoms.
Elderberry is easy to grow but does need a bit of space as it can grow to 15 feet high and spread out to just as wide.

Welcome to Storytime with Herbal Roots zine! I'm Kristine Brown and I wrote this story to help you learn about herbs.
Today, I'm reading from Issue 34 - Wondering About Walnut (November 2011) which you can find here: https://www.herbalrootszine.com/product/november-2011-wondering-walnut/
You might have sampled Walnuts in salads or cookies. The nut meat is prized for eating and is also pressed to create Walnut butter, which is similar to peanut butter, or Walnut oil, which can be used for cooking.
The trees can be tapped in the spring, similarly to maple trees for sap collection which can be cooked down to make walnut syrup and sugar.
Medicinally, the leaf, dried inner bark, green hull, rotten hull, and nut are all used for medicine.
Black Walnut is best known for his use for fungal issues such as ringworm and athlete’s foot.
As an astringent, walnut is great for diarrhea.
Walnut is also well known for his use in expelling parasites from the body and is often found in wormer formula for pets and livestock as well as herbal wormers for humans.
In addition to being edible and medicinal, Walnut wood is used for building furniture and trim in houses, as well as burned for fire wood.
The hard black walnut shell is used commercially in abrasive cleaning, cosmetics and more.
Many parts of the tree can also be used as a dye. The leaves will give off a greener color while the hulls give a variety of shades from golden brown to deep brown, depending when they are harvested and used. The hulls are also boiled in water and the liquid boiled down to make brown ink.
