Marshmallow Leaf (Althaea officinalis)

Marshmallow is a traditional European and Western Asian herb valued for its naturally soothing, mucilage-rich leaves. Both the leaf and root have long histories in herbal practice, although the leaf is generally used when a lighter, soothing preparation is desired.

Traditional Uses: Marshmallow leaf has traditionally been used to soothe dry or irritated tissues of the throat and respiratory tract, support digestive comfort by soothing the gastrointestinal lining, and provide gentle support for the urinary tract. Externally, its soothing qualities have also made it useful in traditional preparations for dry, irritated, or sensitive skin.

How to Use: Marshmallow leaf is commonly prepared as a tea or infusion and may be combined with other herbs in respiratory, digestive, and soothing herbal blends. It can also be used externally in washes, compresses, and other topical preparations.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep sealed to preserve freshness and potency.
