Marshmallow Root Magic: Protecting the Respiratory System

Marshmallow root supports the body's mucous lining health, keeping the trachea and lungs functioning normally. A healthy and resilient mucous membrane lubricates and protects the lungs, and other organs in the body, from abrasive particles like pollen, smoke, and other pathogens and allergens. A healthy mucous lining also prevents the drying, cracking, and bleeding of the respiratory tract from strenuous exercise.
