Description
Marshmallow Leaf (Althaea officinalis)—also known as Malva Blanca, Altea Leaf, and White Mallow Leaf—is a gentle, mucilage-rich herb traditionally used to soothe respiratory irritation, digestive inflammation, and dry, irritated tissues. Rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, minerals, and cooling demulcent compounds, marshmallow leaf forms a protective coating that calms and hydrates the body’s membranes.
Commonly used to ease dry cough, sore throat, bronchial irritation, asthma dryness, acid reflux, gastritis, ulcers, urinary discomfort, and general inflammation, marshmallow leaf also supports skin healing when used topically. Its soft, cooling nature makes it ideal for soothing heat, dryness, and irritation throughout the system.
Enjoyed as a tea, cold infusion, powder, capsule, or blended respiratory/digestive formula, marshmallow leaf offers gentle relief and deep internal hydration.
