Does Holy Tea Irritate the Stomach or Intestines?

0

Two of the natural herbal ingredients in Holy Tea, Malva leaf and Marsh Mallow, have been used for hundreds of years as a demulcent – a substance which is protective of and soothing to delicate mucosal membranes. Both are of the same plant family as the beautiful Hibiscus flower. The leaves and stems actually produce a slippery plant polar glycoprotein called mucilage which coats and soothes the lining of the throat, stomach, and intestines; so it is unlikely that the Holy Tea would irritate the lining of your intestines. The herb called Marsh Mallow or “Chinese Mallow” has long been used as the main ingredient in lozenges to soothe irritation of the throat and tonsils. The original “marshmallow” was a medicinal lozenge that sometimes contained sugar to make it taste better for children and other users, but now bears no resemblence to the modern marshmallow which is made as a candy.
