Althaea officinalis
plant overview
soft, soothing and sweet
Marshmallow is a perennial flowering plant originally native to Europe,
where it is typically found along stream banks, salt marshes and other damp
places. Also known as Mortification Koot and Schloss Tea, marshmallow leaf
has a long history of use as a culinary herb and the root of the plant is
the original source of the confection of the same name. Because the entire
plant and especially the root contains a high degree of mucilage, the herb
is often used to make syrup and throat lozenges. Marshmallow is also
commonly used in teas and to produce lotions, creams and ointments.
