ALTHEA OFFICINALISLiquid

Althea officinalis, prepared from the fresh marshmallow root belonging to the Malvaceæ family, is a soothing homeopathic medicine chiefly valued for its demulcent and protective action on mucous membranes. It is particularly helpful in cases of respiratory catarrh, gastric irritation, bladder inflammation, and chronic ulceration. Known for its mucilaginous, coating properties, it helps relieve rawness, burning, and soreness across multiple organ systems, acting gently yet persistently.
