Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) is a perennial herb native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It has been used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine for its ability to soothe and heal the body, particularly for its mucilaginous properties, which create a protective layer on irritated tissues.
Rich in polysaccharides, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds, marshmallow root is widely known for its ability to support the digestive system, alleviate coughs, and soothe sore throats. It is also used to help reduce inflammation and promote healing of irritated skin. Marshmallow root can be particularly beneficial for individuals with dry or sensitive skin, as it helps to hydrate and promote skin regeneration.
In traditional herbal medicine, marshmallow root is commonly used in teas, tinctures, and capsules for internal soothing, or applied topically in salves and creams to help with skin irritation. Its mild taste and soothing effect make it an ideal addition to any wellness routine, especially for those looking to promote internal healing and external comfort.
