Star of the Herbal Bed

I thought I’d add a ‘Star of the Herbal Bed’ each week. This week this award must go to the ethereally beautiful Marshmallow (Althea officinalis) It’s in full flower at the moment and looking just gorgeous. We use all parts of this fluffy plant with the delicate pink flowers. It is very mucilaginous and healing both internally and externally.


IMPORTANT: please consult with a professional before taking herbs, particularly if you are already on any pharmaceutical drugs or have a serious medical condition – they are not all benign and safe.
