  Impressive addition to my homemade conditioner

  I've been making my own conditioner for over a year now, and it was working pretty well - better than drug store brands for my hair. Recently, I heard a tip that marshmallow root is a great addition to conditioner because it increases "slip" (in other words, it makes the brush glide over your hair more smoothly when you're detangling). This seemed plausible to me intuitively, since marshmallows are such an oddly textured thing. So I bought this product and added a small amount to my homemade conditioner and OMG, the marshmallow powder took it to the next level. Like seriously, my homemade conditioner is now better than Pureology, which I used to spend a small fortune on (I have long hair that tangles like crazy). I would wager a guess that you could add a teaspoon of this stuff to some inexpensive drug store conditioner, and it would enhance that product's performance. It might be worth trying this if detangling your hair (or your kid's hair) after the shower is a big chore (like, it takes forver and results in breakage). I'm just including this information thinking, maybe someone will buy this stuff to actually make marshmallows with it, and now they will have the idea to try adding it to their conditioner too because it has awesome detangling powers. If this resonates with you at all, I urge you to give it a shot!Anyway, I used such a small amount of this powder in a batch of conditioner, I'm sure it's going to last me for years. I have not tried making actual marshmallows with it yet, not sure if I will, but I am intrigued by the idea. Maybe once the weather warms up, I'll try it with some cocoa. I like that it's organic too! Great product.

  I Was delivered for Gut Support and Accidentally Built Gourmet Marshmallows

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Gold Stars for Marshmallow Root Powder ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I came for "gentle herbal support" and stayed because this stuff is basically a spa day for your insides. Marshmallow root powder doesn't shout, doesn't brag, doesn't rush-just calmly shows up and soothes everything it touches like the Mr. Rogers of herbs. Oh, and this is really a powder, not "root bits". Making tea was super easy, and my tummy enjoyed it.Now plot twist: we actually made marshmallows with it. Yes. Real marshmallows. And here are two pro tips that matter:1. Use a maple syrup infused with Madagascar vanilla. That extra oomph takes it from "oh this is good" to next-level indulgence.2. A word to the wise from people who learned the hard way: Blend on high for 10 minutes only if using a strong KitchenAid Stand Mixer. That's it. We got ambitious. We over-blended. 😢 Some fluff factor was lost. Still delicious. Still absolutely worth it. Just a little less cloud-like than planned-more pillowy than float-away fluffy.Five gold stars for:Turning herbal wellness into a dessertPairing beautifully with vanilla-kissed maple syrup like it was meant toTeaching us that sometimes more blending is not better⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Highly recommend. Would make again. Would stop the blender sooner next time.

  Mild flavor - tasty. Soothing. Anti-inflammatory and increases the mucosal lining of the gut & l...

  This product lives up to the doctor's recommendation!I attended a tutorial on herbs given by Dr. Tieranona Low Dog for doctors interested in incorporating herbal medicines into their practice. She covered history of usage, clinical trials on herbal medications, safety, interactions of herbs with other herbs, supplements and prescription medications. Dr. Low Dog started her career as an herbalist/midwife, went to medical school, became faculty at the Univ of Arizona's Integrative medical program and finally, fed up with the lack of standards for herbal use/safety in the US, started the government committee the oversees product efficacy and safety for herbal products. She is an EXCELLENT instructor.Dr. Low Dog couldn't praise marshmallow root enough. Recorded use goes all the way back to the Greeks and Hippocrates. Marshmallow root made it to Hippocrates short list. Which is probably how it acquired it's name Althea officinalis.Marshmallow root is safe - no record of safety issues in the US or Europe (which has a much longer history and more extensive use).Marshmallow root has a huge reputation as a healing herb - probably because it fights inflammation. You got inflammation, You got problems healing.Marshmallow root is a demulcent (increases mucus production especially in the gut and lungs).So, if you have gut problems like leaky gut or a gut infection where the lining of the gut is in deep trouble, marshmallow is protective because it's increasing the mucosal lining of the gut and protecting the lining of the gut. And since it's anti-inflammatory too, it will soothe the lining of the gut so hopefully, it will recover and make it's own mucus again.To prepare marshmallow root.Boiling water - high heat breaks down some of the compounds so don't boil the root or put it in near boiling water.The better temperature is to boil, then let drop to about 130 degrees and let it steep for a good long time. Anywhere from 15-20 minutes to 4 hours .Cold/room temp. water:- let steep for 4 hours or overnightThe flavor is mild and faintly root-like not green/herbal. By the end of the first cup, I liked the flavor. If felt good as it went down even though it wasn't a physical sensation. I just felt fond of it going down. Probably a placebo effect but I'll take it. The placebo effect may be the most underrated medication ever.Do I notice any healing effect on my gut infection/leaky gut (?) yet? Darn, it's only been a week! I added the marshmallow root to my regular routine of Olive Leaf extract (an antibiotic-kills Candida Albans only - leaves the rest alone) and probiotics. On the third day I had no appetite/energy, so I just drank marshmallow tea and also some golden milk (coconut milk and turmericExtra Strength Premium Pure Organic Curcumin 95% (Turmeric Curcumin Extract) Powder - Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Antioxidant (200 grams) Natural Curcumin Supplements-also good for healing the gut) and went to bed. The next day I had a bad gut reaction (continuous diarrhea, lotsa gas. and of course the smell - it almost seemed like the gut was trying to turn itself inside out), sore muscles, fatigue and sneezing. The symptoms lasted for about 2 days then vanished abruptly. I believe this was the herxheimer reaction - if you start killing off bacteria/yeast in your gut quickly, you get these vaguely flu-like symptoms. I have more appts with doctors and I'll get their take.My reading caught up with this situation before the doctors did . It turns out coconut milk has helpful antibiotics of its own and I used almost a can of coconut cream making the golden milk . That would explain the Herxheimer reaction. So the marshmallow remains safe. You shouldn't experience gastric upset unless you drink almost a can of coconut cream in one day.Update: It's now been almost two weeks since I downed too many healthy things all at once. As I recovered from the overdose, mysteriously my energy levels have almost doubled. I was working about 3-4 hours, resting for about 2-3 hours then up and at'em again. About a week afterwards, I started working earlier in the morning and just continued with brief breaks for food throughout the day. This hasn't really happened in the last 5 years ever since I went out on medical disability. My memory and concentration also improved although not to pre-disability days. Since that time, I've discovered spirulina (a blue-green algae) also has antibiotic effects (and yes, I took it that day). I've tried to provoke the herxheimer reaction again but using golden milk, and spirulina separately without the marshmallow root & empty stomach. Nothing. So either I need to go all out again or the susceptible bugs are wiped out.Next experiment includes the following antimicrobial foodsThymeOreganoSpirulinaCoconutmarshmallow root to seal up the gut and as an anti-inflammatoryTurmeric as an anti-inflammatoryUpdate: Dec. 2017After I described my adventures with the Herxheimer reaction to my doctor, I outlined my next set of antimicrob

  Excellent article

  Product came very quickly. I was not certain what to expect but found that mixing with a few. Ounces of orange juice was a great way to start and end my day. It was not pleasant to taste on its own, but it was not as chalky as u expected either. But the orange juice helped alot.
