Marshmallow root, scientifically known as Althaea officinalis, is the underground tuber of the marshmallow plant, which thrives in wetland areas across Europe, Asia, and North America. It belongs to the Malvaceae family and is well-known for its high content of mucilage, which gives it its soothing properties. Traditionally, marshmallow root has been used in herbal remedies, often prepared as teas, decoctions, or extracts, to support respiratory health and soothe irritation in the throat and digestive tract. The root has a mild, slightly sweet flavor that makes it suitable for herbal infusions and syrups. Historically, marshmallow root has been valued for its potential benefits in alleviating coughs and soothing inflammation, and it was also used in culinary applications, especially in the creation of the original marshmallow confection.*
