🌿 Herbal Highlight: Marshmallow Root 🌿

Winter is well and truly here, and with it comes the usual round of colds, flus, and irritated throats. One herb I’ve already found helpful this season is Marshmallow root.

Rich in mucilage, marshmallow root works wonders by soothing and coating the linings of both the respiratory and digestive systems.

Personally, I’ve been using it to ease a sore throat, but its benefits go far beyond that. It can:
✔️ Soothe the oesophagus during indigestion or heartburn
✔️ Coat and protect the stomach lining (helping prevent ulcers)
✔️ Calm coughs and support recovery from respiratory irritation
✔️ Relieve constipation by gently supporting digestive flow

Marshmallow root also boasts anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it beneficial for:
✨ Wound healing
✨ Skin health
✨ Gut repair and overall digestive health

It’s available in various forms – as a tea, supplement, or herbal tincture.

At Hansen’s Health & Fitness, we can prescribe marshmallow root in tincture form, tailored to your needs after a consult.

✨ If you think this gentle yet powerful herb might be just what your body needs this winter, get in touch – we’d love to support your wellness journey.

Well done Krystal and the rest of the Papanui High dragon boating team for their hardwork today!

Bronze medals all round for their events and did super well for an almost completely new team!

Krystal was buzzing…. Until she found out that mum has offered to train her team in the off season to increase their fitness and strength 😂
