Traditionally used to soothe and support the intestines, Marshmallow Root is an old time remedy for bladder infection, digestive upsets, intestinal disorders, and kidney problems, among others. Known throughout the ancient Egyptian, Arab, Greek, and Roman cultures, this herb has been used continually for at least 2000 years. In traditional folk practices it was given to soothe and moisten mucous membranes of the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts, and also as an external poultice. This plant has been used in beverages, desserts, candies, cosmetic creams, and was the “root” of the original marshmallow candy. Marshmallow Root provides natural mucilage that supports, soothes, and moistens mucous membranes of the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts.
Marshmallow is a natural source of beta-carotene, amino acids, minerals and vitamins.
