Marshmallow Root Organic, 1 oz

Marshmallow root embodies what herbalists call demulcent medicine — plants that have traditionally been valued for their mucilaginous, coating quality. It's been a trusted ally for thousands of years in traditional preparations.

Cooling and intensely moistening, marshmallow root releases a slippery substance when steeped in water. This mucilage has been traditionally valued in digestive and respiratory formulas throughout folk herbalism.

The ancient Greeks named it "althea," meaning "to heal," and considered it a plant of comfort and restoration. In folk tradition, marshmallow was associated with gentle protection in herbal preparations.
