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.
