5. Relieve Pain
The next time you feel the onset of a headache – or you sprain your ankle, and you need a painkiller, give marshmallow root a try instead of OTC medication. Marshmallow root has mild analgesic properties helping to relieve symptoms of pain from a wide range of diseases and ailments.
People who are dealing with the pain associated with sore throat or stomach cramps can benefit from drinking marshmallow tea to soothe their symptoms. Use the tea bags as a compress to relieve eye pain and headaches. Marshmallow lozenges do wonders for people who are dealing with a scratchy throat.
At the first sign of a sore throat or headache, take 5-drops of marshmallow extract oil four times a day as a preventative strategy. The protective properties of marshmallow roots help to prepare the body against infection, increasing the efficiency of the immune system.
As a result, the patient supplementing with marshmallow root extract may find they recover faster from infection and experience the symptoms to a lesser extent than those individuals with weakened immune systems.
