I've only used the loose root, so I don't know. I use a couple of tablespoons and make a pot of it to drink throughout the day, I sometimes add some mint leaves as it's doesn't taste of much. It goes a bit slimy when it cools but that's why it works -as I understand it, it puts a mucosal lining on the bladder so it can heal a bit.
Yes, I am curious about it for IC, too~~which brand and how much if you don't mind?
Quercetin is a mast cell stabiliser, IC can be a symptom of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).
See my earlier comment about marshmallow root, which is amazing! With no known side effects.
Thank you! I have marshmallow root in capsule form in my cabinet~~does it work as well as the tea?

That makes sense and thank you again!
