🌿 Herb Spotlight: Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) 🌿
If you’re working on gut health, inflammation, or soothing irritated tissues, marshmallow root is one of the most underrated herbs you should know about.
Despite the name, this has nothing to do with the sugary treat. Marshmallow root has been used for centuries in traditional herbalism for its demulcent properties—meaning it coats, soothes, and protects irritated tissues.
✨ Key Benefits of Marshmallow Root
• Supports gut lining repair and digestive comfort
• Soothes acid reflux, gastritis, and leaky gut symptoms
• Helps calm inflammation in the throat, lungs, and urinary tract
• Supports respiratory health, especially dry coughs
• Gentle enough for long-term use and sensitive systems
It’s especially powerful for anyone dealing with dryness, irritation, or inflammation internally.
