Marshmallow root: follow the preparation label
A guide to preparing a labelled marshmallow root product. The previous overnight cold infusion with fixed quantities is no longer recommended here.
Ingredients
- A clearly labelled marshmallow root product for oral use, with instructions suitable for the person using it.
- Drinking water only in the quantity and at the temperature specified for that product.
Method
Read the full package leaflet before preparing it. Ask a pharmacist about suitability when taking medicines, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for a child.
Use the quantity, water temperature and preparation time stated on the packaging. Use cold water only when that particular product explicitly instructs you to do so.
Follow the product instructions for use, storage and any interval from other medicines. No universal medicine interval is specified here.
Seek medical advice if a cough or irritated throat lasts longer than a week. Seek advice sooner for shortness of breath, fever or purulent sputum.
