Marshmallow Root 100 caps

Marshmallow Root 100 caps I used this for interstitial cystitis, but didn't find it made a noticeable difference. No unpleasant side effects.

I read a book that recommended this herb for people with Interstitial Cystitis. I suffer from this incurable and painful bladder illness, and was told that Marshmallow Root acts like an aloe for your insides. I think the tincture (non-alcohol) with 3 drops under the tongue 3 times a day works best though. I use it, this, and the tea.

After being diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis in April I was forced to look for alternative treatments. After reading Awakening Through the Tears: Interstitial Cystitis and the Mind/Body/Spirit Connection by Catherine M. Simone and her alternatives for treatment, Marshmallow Root and Marshmallow Root tea was the thing that rang home to me. If you are allergic to Elmiron like I am, this will provide most of the same benefits in less time without all the nasty side effects (Who wants to lose patches of hair?) not I! Marshmallow root helps reline the bladder with its mucilant qualities and also helps coat the urethra so that the pain and burning becomes less with use. I take 2-4 caps per day and along with other prescription medications (Atarax and Valium (used the unconventional way)) this has been a great find.
