Mallow has a very rich composition. Due to its high content of mucus, it can be used as an expectorant in lung diseases. At the same time, these mucous substances cover the wound during gastritis, gastrointestinal ulcers and accelerate healing. For this purpose, drink the infusion of mallow. Malvin, a substance found in the labor plant, has very strong antimicrobial and bactericidal properties. For example, if the wounds in the mouth heal slowly or angina occurs quite often, chewing a bunch of mallow and swallowing its juice, and removing the rest from the mouth have a good effect.
The biologically active substances in the herb have a positive effect on the skin. For incurable wounds, crush the plant, boil it, put it on the wound as a poultice and it will heal the wound in a short time. Also, to remove pimples and blemishes on the skin of the face, fill a glass with half a cup of fresh mallow, pour water on it, mix it with a blender and wipe the face twice a day with this mixture.
Collect fresh mallow, crush or process it through a meat grinder, apply it to the hair during baldness and hair loss; it sticks to the hair like glue because it is rich in mucus. It is better to do the procedure once a day and keep it on the hair for 4-6 hours.
