Description
Marshmallow Root - 1 ounce package Organically Grown USA - Cultivated without chemicals or pesticides Certified Organic USA Marshmallow is a typical member of the mallow family that happens to like moist soils like those found in marshes, hence the name. It grows as a tall spike with simple pink flowers. The herb contains mucilagin, which makes herbal tea from the plant feel slimy in the mouth. This ingredient is very soothing & is one of the reasons marshmallow has remained effective for so long. It has a long history stretching all the way back to the ancient Romans. Also Known As - Althaea officinalis Other Uses - Marshmallow is the original source of the confection we all know by the same name. Commercial sweets are now made from sugar, but there is a re-surging popularity in some specialty shops for making the original variety from the root from scratch as a gourmet treat. Parts Used - While the roots are the main component used, the leaves & flowers can also be used.
