Keeping the spica cast dry and clean is usually the most difficult aspect of caring for an infant/child in a spica body cast. For infants and toddlers, diaper and skin care can often be a challenge. The general rule of thumb is to keep the infant/child as normal as possible, and the cast as dry as possible!
The marshmallow plant grows in more than one continent. The common marshmallow plant (Althaea officinalis) is a green perennial that grows large, bee-pollinated, white flowers from July to September, followed by seedpods that ripen from August to October.he common marshmallowâs leaves, flowers, roots and seeds are edible. The roots contain a mucilagelike material that can be cooked into a soft sweet food -- the original marshmallow candy. Making it begins with peeling and thinly slicing several roots.
Today, there are only three manufacturers of marshmallows in the United States, Favorite Brands International (Kraft marshmallows), Doumak, Inc., and Kidd & Company. Raw Materials Marshmallows are made from only a few ingredients, which fall into two main categories: sweeteners and emulsifying agents. Sweeteners include corn syrup, sugar, and dextrose. Proportionally, there is more corn syrup than sugar because it increases solubility (the ability to dissolve) and retards crystallization.
