Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) is a gentle, mucilaginous herb traditionally used to soothe and protect irritated tissues throughout the body. The beige, fibrous root becomes slick and slightly gel-like when mixed with water, coating mucous membranes with a soft, protective layer.
Known as a classic demulcent, marshmallow root is often used to calm dry, scratchy throats, ease coughs, and support a healthy respiratory system. It’s also valued for soothing the digestive tract—especially when there’s occasional heartburn, irritation, or sensitivity—by forming a comforting, moist barrier along the lining.
Topically, marshmallow root is sometimes infused into oils, salves, or compresses to support healthy, hydrated skin and to ease minor dryness or irritation. Its naturally mild, sweet-earthy taste makes it a popular addition to teas, syrups, lozenges, and herbal blends aimed at comfort, moisture, and gentle relief.
