Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) is a perennial herb native to Europe and Asia, and its root and leaves have been used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries. Marshmallow has several herbal benefits and therapeutic actions:
Demulcent: Marshmallow contains a high concentration of mucilage, a thick, gel-like substance that gives it its soothing properties. This mucilage forms a protective and soothing layer when ingested or applied topically, making it effective for soothing and reducing irritation of mucous membranes in the throat, digestive tract, and urinary tract.
Sore Throat Relief: Marshmallow has a long history of use for soothing sore throats and alleviating throat irritation. It helps reduce pain and inflammation associated with a cough or cold.
Cough Suppressant: Due to its demulcent properties, marshmallow help alleviate dry, irritating coughs by soothing the throat and reducing the urge to cough.
Digestive Health: Marshmallow root has been used to relieve various digestive issues, including gastritis, heartburn, and indigestion. It helps protect the stomach lining from irritation caused by excess acidity.
Gastrointestinal Ulcers: Marshmallow’s mucilage is helpful for individuals with gastrointestinal ulcers, as it forms a protective barrier on the ulcerated area, promoting healing and reducing discomfort.
Urinary Tract Health: Marshmallow is used to relieve urinary tract inflammation and discomfort, including urinary tract infections (UTIs). It has a soothing effect on the urinary tract lining.
Skin Health: Marshmallow extracts are sometimes used topically for skin conditions such as burns, wounds, insect bites, and skin irritations. The mucilage helps keep the affected area moist and promotes healing.
Anti-Inflammatory: Marshmallow contains anti-inflammatory compounds that help reduce inflammation in various parts of the body, both internally and externally.
Lymphatic Support: Marshmallow have lymphatic-boosting properties, which can help the body defend against infections.
Respiratory Health: Marshmallow is used in herbal formulations to support overall respiratory health and alleviate symptoms of respiratory conditions like bronchitis.

Anti-Aging Skin Care: Marshmallow root extracts are sometimes used in cosmetics and skincare products due to their hydrating and anti-aging properties.
