Marshmallow Root

Marshmallow Root is a soothing, demulcent herb used in traditional herbalism for its ability to calm irritation and support mucous membrane health. Rich in mucilage, this gentle root forms a slippery, protective coating when steeped, making it especially helpful for easing dry coughs, sore throats, and digestive discomfort. It’s often used to support a healthy gut lining, soothe inflammation in the stomach and intestines, and promote regularity without harsh effects. Externally, marshmallow root has a history of use in poultices and skin preparations to calm redness, dryness, and irritation. Its cooling, moistening nature makes it a favorite ally for those needing balance in hot, dry conditions—whether respiratory, digestive, or topical.
