Based on a traditional remedy for heartburn, this blend is as sweet and delicious as it sounds, and is soothing to irritated digestive systems.  Marshmallow is the root which gives the sweetie its name- and like the sweetie, the root is sticky and contains a lot of mucilage- which acts to coat the lining of the digestive trace, and is soothing, healing and protective.  Combined with the sweet-smelling Meadowsweet and the delicious licorice root, this is a real treat to the tastebuds, and an indulgent way to settle the stomach after meals.  Of course, its such an enjoyable blend, you might want to drink it any time you please- just for the fun of it!
