• Traditionally used to help support sore throats, dry and irritating coughs, respiratory ailments and more.
Mallow has been used as food and health in Europe since the time of ancient Greece and Rome. Traditional herbal health continues to regard the plant as a useful anti-inflammatory agent for the respiratory tract, the skin, and healthy digestion. The esteemed German physician and herbal authority, Rudolf Weiss, MD, recommended mallow primarily for irritations of the mouth and throat, and for dry, irritating coughs. He also mentions its use topically for mild cases of skin irritation.
Like its close relative marshmallow (Althea officinalis), mallow leaves and flowers contain high amounts of mucilage. Mucilage, made up of complex carbohydrates, gives mallow most of its soothing activity, though flavonoids and anthocyanidins may also contribute. In herbal health, mallow is classified as a demulcent-a soothing agent that counters irritation and mild inflammation. Both mallow leaf and flower preparations are approved by the German Commission E for support of sore throats and dry coughs. Mallow is typically used as a tea or gargle for these indications.
The main use of Mallow is to help support mucosal irritations of the mouth and throat, that result in dry, irritating cough. It is also considered useful as a mild astringent to help support healthy digestion. Traditionally it was used internally in case of bladder complaints and externally as a poultice for wounds.
Mallow Malva sylvestris L.
Family:Malvaceae.
Other Names: Common mallow; mauve sauvage (French); Wilde Malve, Große Käsepappel (German); malva riondela (Italian); malva (Spanish).
Description: Mallow is a biennial herb or shrublet (up to 1 m) with rounded, lobed and dentate leaves. The attractive pink flowers each have five petals with characteristic dark veins at their bases. A second species, known as dwarf mallow (M. neglecta), is sometimes also used as a source of leaf material. Both M. sylvestris subsp. sylvestris and M. sylvestris subsp. mauritiana are considered suitable as sources of mallow flowers. These flowers should not be confused with Malvae arboreae flos, which is harvested from Alca rosea (the garden hollyhock).
Origin: Europe and Asia; they have become weeds in other parts of the world.
Parts Used: Dried leaves (Malvae folium) or flowers (Malvae flos).
Preparation and Dosage: About 5 g of dried leaves or flowers (or the equivalent thereof, in extracted form) are used.
Active Ingredients: Like other members of the family (Althaea officinalis), mallow contains mucilage (slime). Mucilage is present in concentrations of 10% and 8% of dry weight in flowers and leaves, respectively. On hydrolysis, the mucilage yields various sugars, including arabinose, galactose, glucose and rhamnose, together with galacturonic acid. Of importance are quite high yields of anthocyanins in the flowers (about 7% of dry weight), including malvin (malvidin 3,5-diglucoside), malvidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-glucoside. Also present are small amounts of tannins (rosmarinic acid) and proanthocyanidins.
Health Effects: The mucilage in mallow is emulcent and therefore forms a protective film over inflamed mucous membranes. Anthocyanins and the other phenolics have antioxidant activities; they are responsible for the mild astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.
Notes: The flowers are sometimes included in other products as a natural colourant.
Status: Traditional health; Pharm.; Comm. E+.
In all internal and external phlegmasias, Mallow is used to good effect; it acts in the same way as Linseed and Marshmallow root. In chest complaints, the infusion of the flowers can be used to help support preference, either alone or mixed with milk.
The root is sometimes given in a decoction sweetened with honey. Concentrated decoctions are made from the minced leaves that can be applied in poultices on their own or mixed with a little Linseed flour.
The leaves, eaten like spinach, have been used for very acid urine. They are particularly recommended in this form for chronic phlegmasia of the alimentary canal, constipation, irritation of the biliary system, nephritis, bladder health and dry cough. The decoction of the leaves and roots is applied in the form of lotions, fermentations, eye-wash and rectal injections, whenever there is a need to soothe irritated and inflamed parts.

All parts of the sweetish, bland-tasting malva flower can be used to support health. This includes the leaves, the flower, and the root which have been known to have demulcent, nutritive, alterative, diuretic, vulnerary, and mildly laxative actions. Malva has been traditionally used to help support inflammations, irritations, irritations and sores, and urinary and gallstones. The bodily systems affected by malva are the lungs and the stomach. In terms of the biochemical composition of malva, it contains mucilage, anthocyanidins, starch, vitamin A, and other nutrients.
Malva and hollyhock have similar properties, with malva having by far the greater amount of starchy mucilage, which is the primary therapeutic ingredient of the plants (along with chlorophyll and vitamin A). Malva, being milder, is more suitable as a pot-herb and is commonly used by people in countries where it grows. The tender leaves can be lightly steamed and served as a spring pot-herb.
These plants all have soothing, demulcent, anti-inflammatory properties that supports irritations when applied either internally, or externally in the form of a poultice. They can be used to help support irritations, intractable sores (such as bedsores), stomach disorders and to soothe the pain of urinary and gall stones.
Externally, make a poultice using the moist ground or pulverized root with a small amount of cayenne as a catalyst to mend blood poisoning, gangrene, septic wounds, intractable sores, burns and bruises. This should first be lightly steamed and applied warm and moist and changed three times daily. It is very effective when used along with frequent internal doses of echinacea.
Malva is generally combined with other diuretic herbs such as parsley root, gravel root and juniper berries to aid in supporting the pain of, and breaking down and expelling, urinary stones and gravel. It is also combined with laxative herbs for chronic constipation. Finally, it can be used to help support irritations associated with diarrhea and dysentery.
Dosage: Two ounces covered and steeped in a quart of boiled, hot water.
The young leaves and shoots of this plant have been eaten since at least the 8th century BC. The plant's many uses gave rise to the Spanish adage, "A kitchen garden and mallow, sufficient medicines for a home." The flowers and leaves are emollient and good for sensitive areas of the skin. It can be applied as a poultice to help support swelling and draw out toxins. Taken internally, the leaves reduce gut irritation and have a laxative effect. When common mallow is combined with eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), it makes a good supportive for coughs and other chest ailments.
It's main restoring properties include: anti-inflammatory, emollient, astringent, laxative.

Coltsfoot has a flowering stem with star-like, yellow flowers and broad green leaves. It originated in Europe and Asia and now grows extensively in North America.
Coltsfoot History
Coltsfoot's botanical name Tussilago farfara indicates its usage, tussive meaning cough and farfara, to go. In other words, dispels coughs. Another name was Filius ante patrem or "the son before the father," as the flowers appear first, then die off before the leaves grow. The herb has long been used as a symbol of herbal health and enjoys an old reputation as a herb that can be used for lung problems, including asthma and coughs, being included in a mixture of herbs, which was smoked. Sticks of coltsfoot rock are still sold for the support for coughs. In China the flowers are preferred, while in Europe the leaves are used exclusively since it is thought there is a higher proportion of toxic constituents in the flowers.
