Common Uses for Marshmallow Root:

  • Used to help treat coughs, sore throats, and congestion
  • Help aid dry coughs and colds
  • Help to relieve joint pain caused by swelling/inflammation

Marshmallow root, also known as Althaea officinalis is an herb that goes all the way back to Ancient Greek and Egyptian times, used as a popular way to treat coughs, sore throats, and congestion. One of the reasons that marshmallows got their name is because of the fluffy properties of marshmallow root - fibrous extracts swell up in the body and form a soft, gel-like substance, helping to soothe the throat. Marshmallow root comes from the marshmallow plant and is a brown, fibrous husk.

The plant has many powerful active ingredients that can help to break up mucus, reduce inflammation, and kill bacteria naturally. Marshmallow root can help to fight bacterial infections, help to repair the gut lining, reduce digestive issues, soothe skin troubles such as insect bites, burns, and more, and help to lower inflammation and support heart health. Marshmallow root also has antioxidants such as flavonoids that can help prevent the formation of oxidative damage that leads to chronic diseases. Marshmallow root has more active compounds, including certain amino acids (like asparagine), polysaccharides like pectin, and various antiviral, antibacterial and anti-mucilaginous compounds (like coumarin, kaempferol, phenolic acids, quercetin and tannins).

There are no serious side effects from taking marshmallow root.

As is the case with taking any supplement while you are pregnant or breastfeeding or taking medication, you should always consult with your healthcare professional prior to usage.
