Gardening althaea and preparing.

http://www.heirloom-organics.com/guide/va/guidetogrowingmarshmallow.htmlRhizomes are harvested in early spring miles in late autumn, when the grass is already starting to dry out. In this case, the earth is dug up to a depth of 30 cm, the roots must be thoroughly cleaned from the ground and washed. Large rhizomes are cut into pieces for easy storage and dried, while the temperature should be no more than 40 degrees. Althea rhizomes can be stored for no more than three years.


The herbaceous parts of plants are recommended to be collected in early June, before the onset of the flowering pore. Medicines are most often made from dried herbal mass, as well as from the side rhizomes, which must first be cleaned of the cork layer.
