Can you use marshmallow, mallow, and hollyhock interchangeably for bites and tissue that is going gangrene? Or is marshmallow better?

Hi Megan,
Thank you for this question. As a new student, I don’t know the answer, but would love to find out.

I’ve used both marshmallow and mallow for interchangeably on serious pre-gangrene cases. I haven’t tried the hollyhock because I always have the other two within reach. If it’s all I had, I’d sure use it. Make sure to harvest hollyhock root in the fall of the first year or spring of the second because it’s a biennial. The other two are perennial (which is the other reason I prefer them).
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

Can the roots be harvested in summer when the plant is green or should I wait till it goes dormant?

As with most roots, they’ll be more potent in the fall or early spring. But they still work during the summer.
