        Doc, Since you have taught us to not cook herbs to retain their medicinal properties…

        What are the properties lost if marshmallow is cooked? And which key medicinal properties are retained after being cooked–if any?

          Define “Cooked”

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

            Cooked=heated on the stove for a while in water or with other foods.   Probably would be 350 degrees F or less.

            If there is a temperature that I could cook it and retain medicinal properties what would that be?
