Blueberry and marshmallow root intertwine delicately for a festive, health-boosting dance. Whole, pureed blueberries retain the fiber and complex array of vitamins to nourish cells and fight free radicals. Marshmallow root serves a vital role in healing and balancing the body. When I was healing my leaky gut, marshmallow root played a vital role in strengthening the integrity of my gut lining. Both flavors combine for a refreshingly clean elixir. Absolutely delightful! I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.

Blueberries

  • among the most nutrient-dense berries (rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese)
  • believed to have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all fruits and vegetables
  • antioxidants protect your body from free radicals, aging, and diseases such as cancer
  • reduce DNA damage and inflammation

Marshmallow Root

  • mucilaginous herb used to soothe the skin and a sore throat
  • great for bronchial inflammation and an excellent expectorant of the respiratory system
  • helpful when trying to lose weight (swells when taken which causes a filling effect)
  • beneficial to the digestive tract because it contains mucilaginous compounds that decrease the thickness of mucosal fluids while increasing the production (this soothes inflamed tissue, which makes for a more productive digestive system)
  • has anti-inflammatory properties that make it good for treating skin issues such as eczema and psoriasis
  • treats kidney and bladder problems, and also decreases the risk of kidney stones by increasing the flow of urine
  • helps with diarrhea and constipation
  • has been used to treat allergies, gastritis, gastric ulcers, enteritis, coughs, cystitis, and hay fever
  • high in calcium
  • excellent herbal source of trace minerals, especially chromium, iron, magnesium, and selenium
