It has been used to heal IC. It also does not give a herxheimer reaction that many herbs can give because most of them have some sort of antimicrobial properties. This herb is also used by people diagnosed with Lyme Disease with no problems with die off. Drinking a lot of water is very important.
Marshmallow Root cold water infusion is the preferable method used to prepare this supplement. You can also make a tea if you are in a hurry.

The tea pulls more starch, which is not necessarily bad, but the less starch/sugars the better when dealing with Interstitial Cystitis, Lyme Disease and yeast overgrowth.
