Marshmallow Root Powder Organic

Marshmallow Root Powder (Althaea officinalis)

Marshmallow root has a long-standing history of use dating back over 2000 years, valued by ancient Egyptian, Arab, Greek, and Roman cultures for its soothing and moisturizing properties. This herbaceous perennial is a member of the Malvaceae family, known for its mucilage-rich content. Marshmallow thrives in damp areas such as marshes, riverbanks, and seaside regions.

Our marshmallow root powder is ground from organically cultivated roots, offering a versatile ingredient for a wide range of uses. It can be encapsulated, tinctured, infused into body care recipes, or even used in cooking for its soothing effects.

Benefits & Uses

Soothing & Demulcent – Known for its ability to support the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts by soothing and moistening mucous membranes.
Versatile Use – Perfect for encapsulation, tinctures, body care formulations, or infusions.
Culinary Ingredient – Historically used in beverages, desserts, and candies. The root was the original key ingredient in traditional marshmallow confections.

Cultural Significance

Marshmallow root has been a part of Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, particularly for moistening and soothing the body. It has been cultivated for centuries and used for everything from food to topical poultices.

Precautions

To ensure optimal effectiveness, take marshmallow root with at least 8 oz (250mL) of liquid. It may slow the absorption of orally administered medications, so it is recommended to take them 1 hour before or several hours after consuming marshmallow. We recommend consulting with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
