Malva/Mallow

. Soothes irritation and inflammation
Respiratory tract: Mallow's mucilaginous compounds can soothe irritation and inflammation of the throat, mouth, and lungs, making it useful for treating conditions like dry cough, sore throat, and bronchitis. It's often used as a gargle or tea for these purposes.
Digestive system: Mallow may help soothe gastrointestinal distress such as acid reflux, ulcers, and mild constipation by lubricating and protecting the digestive lining. It can also help reduce inflammation and promote smoother digestion.
Skin: Mallow's anti-inflammatory properties can be beneficial for skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, minor irritations, bruises, and burns. It's used topically in poultices or creams to calm inflamed skin, reduce redness, and potentially help with wound healing and scar prevention. 
2. Antioxidant and Immune Support
Mallow contains antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which help combat oxidative stress in the body. This may help protect against age-related conditions, liver disease, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer.
It also contains vitamins C and E, further contributing to its antioxidant potential.
Mallow may also act as an immune stimulant, particularly at the onset of an infection. 
 
3. Urinary tract health
Mallow can be beneficial for the urinary tract system, potentially offering soothing pain relief and support for the lining of the urinary tract. It may also have some antimicrobial effects, making it potentially useful in urinary tract infections when combined with other herbs. 
4. Nutritional value
 
Mallow leaves are edible and can be a nutritious addition to salads, soups, and other dishes, providing vitamins and minerals like calcium, magnesium, selenium, potassium, zinc, iron, beta-carotene, and vitamin C.
