Marshmallow Root Powder 1kg

With its expectorant and relaxation capacity as well as the ability to help soothe and protect irritated mucous membranes, Marshmallow Root Powder (Althea officinalis) is increasingly becoming the 'go-to' herb for horses. 

Benefits may include; 

• May help soothe and protect internal membranes 
• May assist irritated or inflamed digestive, respiratory and urinary tracts
• May bind together and eliminate toxins from the body 
• Recognised as a general health tonic 
• May be beneficial for dry coughs, sore throats and soothing the respiratory tract

Marshmallow Root Powder owes its primary therapeutic effects to its significant mucilage and pectin content. Pectin is a soluble fibre that assists with intestinal functioning and maintaining optimal blood sugar levels. Mucilages are compounds which, when combined with water form a slimy, slippery texture that contain the soothing and protective properties.
