That’s why I grow marshmallow. I’ve never found anything that gives immediate relief like it does. The fresh root is best but dried also works. I cut it open and wet it before rubbing some on. I’ve read that it can be ground in a mortar and pestle with a little water too.
I’m happy to report that it’s very easy to grow from seed.
My eczema flared up this past month and I'm about to scratch my skin off. I was waiting to harvest my marshmallow but after reading this, I think I'll go dig it up right now. I wonder if the leaves would help at all, like if I threw some in with an oatmeal bath?
