Marshmallow Root is a long-trusted herb for calming irritated tissues – whether in the digestive system or on the skin. Also known as white mallow herb, it has been a staple in traditional practices like Western herbalism, Ayurveda, and Greco-Arabic medicine. Traditionally, it was taken to ease sore throats and dry coughs, relieve digestive upset, settle irritated stomachs and bladders, and applied topically to soothe wounds, burns, and eczema.

♡ Why we love it: Marshmallow Root is naturally rich in mucilage, flavonoids, phenolic acids, starches, and pectin. Together, these compounds give it its renowned soothing qualities – from calming the throat and lungs to easing the stomach and urinary tract. It’s also supportive for heartburn and bladder irritation. Because it’s so gentle, Marshmallow Root is ideal for those with sensitive digestion or delicate skin.
