Marshmallow Root & Slippery Elm Bark are prized moistening herbs which contain very high amounts of mucilaginous polysaccharides. They are energetically cooling and, together with their moistening properties, help reduce pain, inflammation, and dryness throughout the body. These herbs have a wide range of applications from sore throats and dry coughs to pain and inflammation of the urinary tract and constipation. When moistened, they form a gel-like substance that coasts and protects irritated tissues, making it excellent for soothing the digestive tract, throat, and mucous membranes. 
 
Licorice Root is a powerful demulcent (moistening herb), known for its ability to sooth and protect mucus membranes throughout the body. It has long been used in traditional herbal medicine systems such as Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda and is well known for its distinct sweet taste. Rich in mucilaginous compounds, it helps coat and heal irritated tissues, making it beneficial for conditions like acid reflux, gastritis, sore throat, dry cough, and ulcers. It also has anti-inflammatory and adrenal supporting properties which help to reduce stress related gut issues.

WHAT IS A HONEY PASTE?
Honey pastes are a traditional method of delivering herbs, which result in optimal absorption of the medicine. Honey is hydrscopic. It attracts water molecules and will suck the protoplasm out of plant cells. Powdered herbs that are prepared in this unique method provide the full range of bio available plant constituents. 
 
This potent and effective method of delivering herbs originates from middle eastern medicine, known as Unani TIbb. This preparation is both an extract of the herb along with the whole herb still in it. The delicious factor helps with compliance as it is incredibly palatable.
 
Prepared honey pastes are an effective way to deliver the benefits of herbs in a form that’s shelf-stable, easy to take, and delicious! The honey acts as a solvent which helps to extract and potentise the medicinal compounds in the herbs, making it more effective than encapsulated powdered herbs. Honey pastes can be taken by the spoonful as-is or added to warm water, tea, or coffee. Since this preparation does not contain any alcohol, it’s perfect for children or folks who prefer to avoid alcohol.
