Railyard Apothecary is launching our Herb of the Month program! Every month we will feature an herb through education and discounted pricing.
available as a dried herb at 50% of retail price and as tincture at 25% off retail price!
This January we are featuring marshmallow leaf, Althaea officinalis. Many people are familiar with the root and its uses, but this month we are highlighting the gifts of the leaf. This plant is indigeonous to Western Asia, North Africa, and Europe and is a perennial commonly found growing in wetlands and marshes and easily cultivated in the garden as well. The aerial parts are used to make tinctures and teas, as well as herbal honeys, vinegars, syrups and oxymels. A member of the mallow family, marshmallow leaf is cooling, moistening and sweet. This plant is known for their mucilage and is demulcent giving it an infinity for the respiratory, digestive and urinary systems as well as the skin and eyes. It is soothing to all mucus membranes and has anti-inflammatory, emollient, expectorant, nervine, and vulnerary properties.
Come experience and learn more about marshmallow leaf with Emma and Jessica for a materia medica and hands-on DIY class on Monday, January 13, 2020 from 6:00-7:30pm.
