The Althaea root is primarily used for digestive problems and for skin outbreaks, while its leaves are used for the lungs and the urinary system.

The root is particularly recommended for inflammations of the digestive tract such as:

• inflammations of the mouth
• gastritis
• peptic ulcer
• enteritis
• colitis

For urethritis and sands in the urinary system, Althaea leaves are very soothing. Generally, the plant is very soothing for any irritation of the body's mucous membranes. Externally, the root is indicated for varicose veins and external ulcers such as abscesses.

How to use: Boil the root for 10-15 minutes, and the total daily dose is 7-9 grams, divided into 2-3 doses per day.

Origin: Outside the EU.
