Mallow or cheese poplar (Folium Malvae, Flos Malvae)

• Sunny slopes, roadsides, field and meadow edges and walls are the favourite places of the mallow or cheese poplar, which flowers from June to August. The flowers are intensely purple in colour. The leaves and flowers, which are only collected on dry days and carefully dried, are used.
• Effect: The mallow or cheese poplar has a soothing effect on the mucous membranes of the upper airways and the mouth and throat, as it contains an exceptionally large amount of mucilage and thus coats the inflamed tissue as if with a protective film. It is used medicinally for a raspy voice, laryngitis and hoarseness. Mallow or cheese poplar tea also has the same effect (protective film) on inflamed mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines.

Lemon balm (Folium Melissae)

• This perennial, usually highly branched plant grows to a height of around 30 to 70 cm. Its egg-shaped leaves have a lemon-like odour and taste. The typical odour is due to the essential oil (with the main components citral and citronella).
• Effect: Lemon balm has a calming effect and helps with nervous sleep disorders and gastrointestinal complaints. Its antispasmodic effect alleviates stomach and bile problems.

Liquorice (Radix Liquiritiae)

• Liquorice is a woody, perennial shrub that grows up to 2 metres high. It has an extensive root system with a taproot. The bluish to light purple butterfly flowers are arranged in spike-like, upright inflorescences. The dried secondary roots collected in late autumn to spring are used medicinally.
• Effect: The glycyrrhizin contained in liquorice root has a cough-reducing, anti-inflammatory and expectorant effect. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi and viruses, which means that liquorice root can also be used to treat coughs and inflammation in the mouth and throat.
