Marshmallow
Overview
Enjoy the benefits of healthy lungs and digestion with the pure, all-natural power of Marshmallow.
Marshmallow has been used historically for respiratory support, to loosen and expel excess mucus.
Marshmallow root naturally contains mucilage, which provides demulcent (soothing) effects on the digestive, respiratory and intestinal systems.
Since the stomach and intestines are lined with these protective membranes, marshmallow can ease irritation in the gastrointestinal tract and may help counteract excess stomach acid.
Marshmallow root is a perennial herb native to Europe, Asia and Northern Africa.
Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Arabian practitioners used this plant for a variety of health needs.
Fun fact: Ancient Egyptians used marshmallow root to help with respiratory concerns, but they reserved its use solely for the gods and royalty!

How It Works
Marshmallow has been traditionally used to treat respiratory issues such as cough, lung problems, and breathing difficulty. It contains compounds that can help soothe and protect the respiratory tract from irritation.
Marshmallow's tissue-soothing effects have also been used in traditional herbal medicine to relieve dry coughs, as well as redness and irritation in the mouth, throat, and lungs.
Marshmallow root has also been used historically to treat digestive issues such as occasional constipation, digestive discomfort, and excess stomach acid.
Marshmallow is considered mildly laxative and is often used for various intestinal conditions.
Marshmallow contains pectin fiber that is capable of carrying a host of substances out of the body to expel substances that often collect or stick to the mucous membranes lining the intestinal tract.
Marshmallow's high mucilage content—25-30% polysaccharides (mucilage) and 25-30% starch—account for its healing effects, especially for the mucous membranes.
Some research suggests that marshmallow root may act as a natural and mild diuretic to flush out excess fluid. It may also help relieve irritation of the protective mucous membranes that line the bladder and urinary tract.
Plus, marshmallow root contains active compounds that provide antioxidant activity and promote a healthy inflammatory response.
Marshmallow root even helps support the immune system. Marshmallow's mucilage content forms a protective film over the mucous membranes when ingested, which may help inhibit the growth of foreign invaders.
