Demulcent Water
Demulcent herbs like marshmallow root, slippery elm bark and licorice root provide deep inner moisture and cooling hydration that no amount of water provides.
Wonderful as a daily lifestyle habit, Demulcent Water helps cool and moisten not only hot and dry conditions in the body, but also helps balance the dry climate in Boulder, Colorado. Conditions that would benefit from Demulcent Water include acid reflux, dry skin, dry eyes, eczema, hot flashes and dryness in menopause, sore throats, bladder irritation, dry cough, leaky gut, and autoimmune conditions. The polysaccharides in these herbs also serve to feed our intestinal microbiome.
Make these demulcent herbs a part of your daily lifestyle.
Ingredients for Demulcent Water:

Instructions:
Add 1-2 tsp of the Demulcent Compound to 12-16 oz of water and use an immersion blender, electric whisk or regular blender to combine.
