The healing plant Althaea officinalis, also known as mallow and marsh, is used for inflammation and irritation of the alimentary canal, for urinary issues, and for respiratory issues including bronchitis and excessive coughing. The catastrophic background image shows fires caused by the Iraqi Military bombing of roughly 700 oil wells in Kuwait between January and November of 1991.
