Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) is derived from the
common Marshmallow plant (Althaea officinalis), Earliest records of its use
hail from ancient Egypt, where it was employed as a topical remedy for soothing
irritated skin. Greek and Roman civilizations later embraced it for its
medicinal properties, including cough relief and digestive aid. The soothing
properties of marshmallow root also landed it a place in traditional European
confectionery, where it was used to create a paste for making the delectable
marshmallows we know today.
Medicinally, marshmallow root continues to be a popular herbal
supplement. Modern research suggests it may offer relief for coughs, sore
throats, and digestive complaints like heartburn and ulcers. It’s effectiveness
stems from the presence of mucilage, a gel-like substance that coats and
soothes inflamed tissues. Marshmallow root is available in various forms,
including teas, capsules, tinctures, and topical creams.
Beyond its historical and medicinal applications, marshmallow
root has also found a niche in the realm of magick. In some traditions, it is
seen as an herb that embodies love, protection, and psychic development. It is
sometimes incorporated into rituals or spells intended to attract love, bolster
emotional well-being, or promote peace and harmony.
