Description
Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis)—also known as Altea Root, Malvavisco, and White Mallow—is a gentle, mucilage-rich herb traditionally used to soothe and hydrate irritated tissues. Rich in polysaccharides, minerals, and cooling compounds, marshmallow root forms a protective, slippery coating that calms inflammation throughout the body.
Commonly used to ease acid reflux, heartburn, ulcers, dry cough, sore throat, bronchial irritation, urinary tract discomfort, constipation, and digestive inflammation, marshmallow root also supports skin healing and hydration from the inside out. Its soothing, demulcent nature makes it ideal for dry, irritated, or inflamed conditions.
Enjoyed as a cold infusion, warm tea, powder, capsule, syrup, or infused blend, marshmallow root provides deep internal moisturizing and gentle relief.
