How to Brew: Perfect Infusion Technique
Place one generous tablespoon (approximately 2 teaspoons or 2g) of whole mallow flowers into 150ml of freshly boiled water heated to 85-90°C (185-194°F). Allow the mixture to steep for 5-10 minutes.
The longer steeping time permits the mucilages to fully release, creating the characteristic slightly thick, soothing texture. Watch as the delicate flowers unfurl and release their pale golden-pink hue into the water.
For digestive support, consume 2-3 times daily between meals or when experiencing gastric discomfort. When addressing respiratory concerns, sip the warm infusion slowly to maximize contact with throat tissues.
Mallow flowers combine beautifully with chamomile for enhanced calming effects, licorice root for respiratory support, or fennel for digestive applications. The mild flavor profile makes it an excellent base for therapeutic blends.
Store dried flowers in an airtight container away from direct light, heat, and humidity to preserve active compounds. Typical usage courses span approximately 3 weeks followed by a one-week pause.

Ancient European Emollient Tradition
Mallow has been treasured since ancient times as one of Europe's most renowned softening and comforting plants. The name "Malva" derives from the Greek "malakos," meaning soft a direct reference to the plant's characteristic soothing properties that healers recognized thousands of years ago.
Throughout medieval Europe, monastery gardens cultivated these distinctive purple blooms as essential medicinal herbs. Mallow held a place of honor among the traditional "pectoral flowers" an ancestral blend specifically gathered to relieve respiratory passages.
Herbalists would harvest the blooms during peak flowering season, carefully drying them to preserve medicinal virtues for year-round use. The plant's accessibility and gentle nature made it a household staple, passed down through generations as a trusted remedy for everyday ailments affecting both digestion and breathing.
In French phytotherapy tradition, mallow embodies the principle of douceur gentleness. This represents a therapeutic philosophy that works through nourishment and protection rather than forceful intervention, aligning perfectly with the plant's mucilaginous nature that soothes and coats rather than stimulates.
The tradition of whole-flower preparation, maintained in this product, honors centuries of herbal wisdom that recognized the importance of preserving the plant's natural form and complete phytochemical profile.
