I bought a little bottle of Cussons handsoap on sale called “Mallow Magic”, and just noticed today that the label very proudly claims “Trusted Since 1869”.
I chuckled to myself thinking “Well, surely they didn’t have marshmallows back then…” Boy was I wrong.
After spending the last week at home sick with a flu-like illness that started with a terrible sore throat, I wish I would have read this a week ago because I’m curious to try it and see how it compares to other home remedies for sore throat relief. Ah well, next time (which hopefully is far in the future).
You can buy tisanes/tea with marshmallow root in it that’s good for sore throats!
