So true😀 she's a copy, in looks and lifestyle,of my Italian friend Gigia, who owns an organic farm here in central Italy where I live now. I moved out of London UK over ten years ago to live simply in the mountains without a car in a small very old stone house, I bought, growing my food, forging, bartering with small local organic farms, keeping chickens, lots of cats😂, no money, no washing machine or central heating or hot running water, just my trusty wood stove Ms. Goldie😀. When I first came to this region I did some volunteering at Gigia's farm and she was the kindest person to guide this clueless city girl, me, strutting in high heels, full makeup and all. She influenced me to make this change and I'm ever grateful to her. So yes, this lady, the channel owner/presenter, oozes kindness and gentleness😘💕😁😚

Hello Sue, thanks for your comment! I love hearing about your life living in an Italian mountain village, and your transformation from London living.

Nice video, my favourite is to cold infuse first, strain and then hot infuse the marc and mix the two liquids. As a researcher studies done by ourselves and several other bodies has indicated marshmallow is efficacious against gram positive bacteria. I have also much anecdotal evidence of this in humans and dogs.

I just received Foraging and Feasting as a birthday gift and am so looking forward to using it with your videos to increase my knowledge of all the plant beauties I find around me. I haven't used marshmallow root before, but definitely will keep the info for building that relationship with the plant!

Hi there! If I were to mix this with mullein what ratio would I use? I was also going add lemon balm for the yummy flavor. Thanks

@DinaFalconi

Compounding (mixing herbs together) is fun and you can play with it. Generally speaking, I'd probably use 1 part marshmallow and 4 parts mullein. If adding lemon balm, perhaps 1-2 parts. Enjoy!

Great, thank you! When is the root supposed to be taken, summer or autumn, when using it fresh? Love

Hello from London, England. Great video. This is the next for me in a long line of 'cures/help' in tackling my silent reflux. Recently tried slippery elm, but couldn't stand the smell or taste. Just bought marshmallow root and took some yesterday. How thick is the mixture supposed to be as what I made wasn't particularly gluppey as I expected, or perhaps I'm wrong. I just went by the packet and added 200ml of boiling water to 3 teaspoons and left for around 20 mins.

Hello to you from NY, USA. The infusion may not be as thick as you imagined. Here is the recipe for making marshmallow infusion: Marshmallow Infusion made with hot or cold water. Steep time: at least one hour and up to 8 hours Ratio of dried marshmallow root per water: 8 oz water per ¼ -½ oz marshmallow root cut and sifted. Or 1 pint (16 oz) water: ½ -1oz of root. Fresh root: Use more root, perhaps double than when dried. Measurement ratios: 1 heaping Tablespoon weighs ¼ oz = large palmful. Hope this helps.

Hi Dina, so in your opinion, you have no preference on hot or cold infusion for marshmallow root? It's always confused me!

@DinaFalconi

2 жыл бұрын

Hello Kelly! I've found them to be quite similar, just make sure you steep long enough. I steep for at about 8 hours. For a hot infusion, about 6 hours of that is no longer hot, so maybe that really becomes and cold infusion too. Still, when using marshmallow root in formulas with other herbs, I'll infuse the combo hot. Hope this helps.

I grew my own marshmallow. What does is taken? Thank you for the video.

What is the difference between using marshmallow leaf and using the root? Do they both have the same benefits. Thx

Regarding the soothing mucilage, the roots are much more mucilaginous than the leaves, but both can be used.

Can i use common mallow in a similar way?

@DinaFalconi

2 жыл бұрын

Hello Sosse, common mallow (Malva neglecta) is not as rich in mucilage, but still offers some of marshmallow's goodness.

What is the dose for it, would a person drink the whole amount?
