HERBAL INTELLIGENCE
HERBAL INTELLIGENCE
Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis)-root (radix)
The root of Althaea officinalis is rich in mucilage polysaccharides—notably arabinogalactans and rhamnogalacturonans—along with pectin, starch and smaller amounts of flavonoids and phenolic acids¹. These mucilage substances form a soothing protective layer over mucous membranes when taken internally or applied topically, which supports its traditional usage for mild irritation of the mouth, throat or digestive tract. According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the root has a well-established traditional use as a demulcent (a soothing agent) for symptomatic treatment of oral or pharyngeal irritation and dry cough in adults, adolescents and children over 3 years old².
