Slippery elm is a type of tree that is native to North America and member of the elm family. It is known for its rough, reddish-brown bark and its slippery inner bark. In traditional medicine, slippery elm has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including sore throats, stomach ulcers, and skin irritations. It is believed to work by forming a protective barrier on the mucous membranes of the digestive and respiratory tracts, which can help to soothe irritation and reduce inflammation.

Licorice, also known as glycyrrhiza, is a plant native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region. The root of the plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and is often consumed in the form of candy, tea, and supplements. Licorice has a number of purported health benefits, including the ability to soothe sore throats, reduce inflammation, and improve digestive problems. It may also have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Licorice naturally contains glycyrrhizin, or glycyrrhizic acid, which can have toxic effects if consumed in large amounts. However, licorice can be processed to remove glycyrrhizin, resulting in DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice). Many dietary supplements that contain deglycyrrhizinated licorice are often simply named 'DGL'.

Marshmallow, often referred to as marshmallow root, is a plant from the Althaea genus that is native to Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. Marshmallow has been used in traditional medicine for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, and as a natural remedy for various ailments, such as coughs, colds, and digestive problems. Both the marshmallow leaf and the dried root are used in herbal preparations.
