User Reviews for mallow

A horrible set of choices. Age 65 living in bamboo garden Thailand. Just started brewing tea found excellent for lungs and throat. Use periodically and recommend trying. I use no name dried generic no poison

malva neglecta/boiled leaves. 1st time my teeth hurt for 2-3 days. 2nd time, 2 months later, poured off water after cooking & rinsed. Ate about 1/3 cup & got horrible pain in my knee, foot & hip for 3 days.

This plant is not marshmallow! Please do not mistake! It is called Malva sylvestryis what is good for coughs, bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, and gastritis, and many more health problems. Marshmallow is a different herb that is also good for some upper respiratory problems, and very good for urinary tract infections, and cystitis. Please make sure, when using herbal plants, to clear the names (Latin) and resource the plant yourself, or ask a herbalist.

Had I think a reaction to marshmallow root herb Could nto stay up. Possible had low blood sugarandlow bloodpressure. Had to go off it and bp came back up after 2 days and I resumed bp meds. But am not having cortisol problems. And prescribed prednisone 5mg for 14 days to raise it. marshmallow root herb did stop my bladder pain completely but I cna nottake it it seems. UI always used malva sylvestris in winter for ac old but only for 2 days mixed withhoney and sugars and some brandy. I am not sure if the problem is because I was taking it in a tea form. From Penn Herb not one I raised myself. It did work though. Read More Read Less
