Known to soothe dry, irritated lungs and ease coughs; calms inflammation in the bladder and urinary tract; coats and protects the gut lining in cases of irritation or inflammation; and is helpful topically in compresses or poultices for dry, irritated, or inflamed skin.* Caution: Generally considered very safe, including for children and during pregnancy. It may slow the absorption of medications due to its mucilage coating, so it is best taken 1–2 hours apart from other remedies. Cold infusions are ideal for preserving mucilage content, while hot infusions provide mild anti-inflammatory benefits. Choose organic, properly dried leaves, as mucilage content can degrade with age or poor storage.* *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
