Marshmallow is a beautiful perennial plant with large pink flowers that blooms in the late summer and grows to be about 4-5ft tall. Marshmallow can be grown in the garden with good soil and neutral pH. This plant is best in full sun, and since they grow to be very tall, they should be planted about 2 feet apart.
The root is usually the portion of the plant that is harvested. Marshmallow root contains about 25-35% mucilage which is indigestible for humans. This mucilage gives it the ability to sooth and heal digestive inflammation and internal irritations. The mucilage is the active agent that literally slides down the digestive tract and heals as is goes completely down the tract and leaves the body. The leaves also have this mucilage along with a trace of some essential oils and flavenoids (Kapoor, 1990).
Historically, Althaea officinalis was named by the Greeks who used it as their “official healer” with “Althos” meaning healer in Greek. In fact, Hippocrates used marshmallow for healing wounds. In the ancient times, Althaea officinalis was used for soothing coughs and colds along with irritated skin. This slimy plant was also eaten by the Romans and Egyptians as a vegetable on a daily basis.
Today, this mucilage is used as an anti-inflammatory, soothing agent, and a stimulant to healing. The root is used for digestive problems and skin irritations, while the leaf is used for problems with the lungs and urinary system (Hermann, 1973). Also, an infusion of althea leaves can be prepared and applied as a compress to reduce inflammation of the eyelid. Strong teas are made from the leaves and used as a rinse for an abscess or boil. Henriette’s Herbs recommends that Althaea be boiled in wine or milk, or made into syrup for coughs and colds. Furthermore, any wild mallow flower is an excellent compress for wasp stings.
Marshmallow is a beautiful plant that can be used for any irritation inside or out. It’s medicinal properties include being an anti-inflammatory agent, soothing agent, and healing stimulant make this plant vey useful to have around in the case of injury.
