Harvesting and Processing COMMON MALLOW | Medicinal Herb Common Mallow

Common mallow is full of medicinal properties, and it is growing all around us! We have a weedy patch of the yard that we have let go wild, because we know we will be landscaping it soon, and figured we’d cross that bridge when we get to it. Since there was tons of mallow growing there, we decided to harvest the roots. They entire plant is edible, but we decided only to keep the roots. For the sake of saving time and space. We will be drying it and using it in tea for soothing the digestive tract. There are lots of other uses for common mallow, so I’ll be happy to have this plant on hand in the future.

I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice. Do your own research. Most typical uses for Mallow are for soothing irritated mucous membranes (digestive, bronchial, oral), teething in babies, nausea, upset stomach, and other digestive problems, UTI’s, and topically for burns, swelling, and bruises.

It is important to note that Common Mallow (Malva sylvestris) is not the same as Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis)
