Marshmallow root, scientifically known as Althea officinalis, is a perennial herb with a long history of medicinal use. It is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia but has now been cultivated in many parts of the world due to its medicinal properties.
The root of the marshmallow plant has been used traditionally for its soothing and healing properties. It contains various compounds, including mucilage, flavonoids, and polysaccharides, that contribute to its therapeutic effects.
Marshmallow root is commonly used to alleviate coughs, sore throats, and other respiratory issues by forming a coating layer on irritated tissues and reducing inflammation.
