Marshmallow Root Dried 100g

Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) is a traditional herbal remedy valued for its high mucilage content. When mixed with water, the mucilage forms a soothing gel that helps coat and protect irritated tissues.

Benefits

• Helps soothe sore throats and dry, irritating coughs.
• Supports healthy digestion by calming the stomach and intestinal lining.
• May help relieve occasional heartburn and acid discomfort.
• Traditionally used to support urinary tract health by soothing the urinary tract.
• Helps calm irritated skin when used in poultices, compresses, or infused into creams and balms.
• Rich in natural plant mucilage that helps retain moisture.
• Traditionally used to support normal bowel function by soothing the digestive tract.
• May help soothe minor mouth and gum irritation when used as a mouth rinse.
• Gentle enough for many herbal wellness applications when used appropriately.

Common Uses

• Herbal tea or cold infusion
• Herbal syrups for seasonal throat support
• Tinctures
• Herbal capsules
• Bath soaks
• Facial toners and botanical extracts
• Creams, lotions, balms, and salves
• Hair rinses to help condition dry hair

How to Prepare as a Tea

Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Marshmallow Root to one cup (250 ml) of cold or warm water. Allow it to steep for 4–8 hours (or overnight for a cold infusion), then strain before drinking. A cold infusion extracts the soothing mucilage more effectively than boiling water.
