The use of this traditional herbal medicinal product in the aforementioned indications is based solely on long-standing use.

Mallow or cheese poplar (Folium Malvae, Flos Malvae)

• Sunny slopes, the edges of paths, fields and meadows, and walls are the favourite habitats of the mallow or cheese poplar, which flowers from June to August. The flowers are a deep violet colour. The leaves and flowers, which are harvested only on dry days and carefully dried, are used.
• Effect: Mallow soothes irritation of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and the mouth and throat, as it contains an exceptionally high amount of mucilage, which coats the inflamed tissue like a protective film. It is used medicinally for a hoarse voice, laryngitis and hoarseness. Mallow or cheese poppy tea has the same effect (protective film) on the inflamed mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines.
