Thanks Doc. It’s been interesting. I’ve tried taking 1 tsp of marshmallow root in 4 oz of water, followed by another 4 or more ounces of water in the mornings because I was hoping for increased hydration of the body in general and less inflammation. Anyway, several times, after drinking it, I get a cough. (Not always.) It’s sort of like it’s stimulating expectoration. Is this a normal reaction after taking the dried herb in water? (I don’t let it sit and get super mucilaginous either. I just stir it in and drink it right away.)
