        I remember hearing in one of the lectures about an herb that especially helps with mouth sores that come from chemotherapy but I can’t find it now that I need it.  I’m thinking probably marshmallow cold infusion for a mouthwash but I can’t remember for sure.  I have a friend being treated for lymphoma and the mouth sores are her worst side effect.  If anyone can remind me of this or has other suggestions I’d greatly appreciate it.

          Marshmallow would really help. Adding some Calendula would be good too.

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