Marshmallow Root Organic

Marshmallow: Althaea officinalis (L.)

Why Marshmallow Root? A perennial botanical native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa, marshmallow was introduced to the U.S. as a medicinal plant and has been naturalized in the eastern U.S. An herb high in mucilage, marshmallow root is ideal to help support normal clearing of the throat and chest.

Benefits: Marshmallow root, while not sweet like the fluffy candy, gently supports the body by soothing the throat from everyday coughs. Marshmallow can help maintain healthy, normal cell integrity.
