If marshmallow can help cure acid reflux, can it help in uric acid diathesis

Dear Anil

As per my view, Dandelion and Horseradish tea are the top remedies to treat Uric Acid Diathesis. However, Marshmallow is quite good for treating Gout. As it is known for its Antiinflammatory and Mucilaginous properties. It regulates the level of Uric Acid and is also helpful in reducing the inflammation associated with it.

Hello friend. Marshmallows are good for diabetic people as it helps to lower down the blood sugar. But if the one you buy has much sugar content? Well, I would suggest you Gurmar herb ( Gymnema Sylvestre - mother tincture ). Take the herb in homeopathic form. Take 5 drops daily in a glass of water. It is a very effective herb for blood sugar. My father is taking it for many years. It keeps control. He takes it twice a day. You can start from on time a day and keep a check on sugar level. And for Cough, I would say just check the Cough page under the disease section. I'm a reader of the website. There are multiple herbs there. You will find something as per you surely.

Marshmallow root is not good for all IC sufferers. It can irritate bladders as well. I took 960mg and spent 7 days with a urinary frequency in top of my disease induced frequency. My bladder and urethra hurt so bad.
