Marshmallow Root – Althaea officinalis

Gentle root with soothing tradition.

Marshmallow root, also known as medicinal marshmallow, is the dried root of Althaea officinalis, a plant long valued in European herbal traditions. This pale, fibrous root is naturally rich in plant mucilage, giving it a soft, mildly sweet taste and a smooth, comforting mouthfeel when prepared. Traditionally used in herbal wellness routines, marshmallow root is appreciated for its gentle nature and its role in balanced daily rituals.

The root is commonly prepared as a cold infusion or mild herbal tea and is also used in culinary and cosmetic traditions. Our marshmallow root is carefully cut, hand-filled in small batches, and packed in a kraft pouch to preserve freshness and aroma. Sourced from regions where the plant grows naturally, it is intended for culinary and educational use only. Do not exceed typical culinary amounts and consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
