Benefits of Althea officianalis plant
 |
| Marshmallow plant |
Several herbs have been known to help the throat during episodes with dysphagia. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) can reduce swelling and spasms and relieve pain in the gastrointestinal tract. The typical dose is 380 mg per day. Slippery elm (Ulmus fulva) is a demulcent, which means that it promotes the healing of and protects irritated tissues. The dose is 60 mg per day. Marshmallow (Althea officianalis) is also a demulcent and an emollient (a soothing substance) and can be made in a tea with 2 to 5 g of dried leaf or root in 1 cup of boiling water. Other herbs that may be helpful are valerian (Valeriana officianalis), wild yam (Dioscorea vilosca), St. John's wort (Hypericum performatum), skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) and linden flowers (Tilia cordata).
