Marshmallow root is known for its soothing properties on irritated mucous membranes. The presence of mucilage, a gel-like substance, forms a protective coating, providing relief to irritated mucous membranes in the throat, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system. It is beneficial for conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, acid reflux, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by reducing inflammation and promoting a healthy gut lining.
This herbal remedy is also great with relieving coughs, sore throat, and hoarseness. Its demulcent and expectorant properties help reduce irritation and facilitate the expulsion of mucus. Additionally, marshmallow root is utilized in skincare products for its soothing and moisturizing effects, making it suitable for alleviating skin irritations, dryness, and minor wounds.
Furthermore, marshmallow root exhibits potent anti-inflammatory properties that aid in reducing inflammation and discomfort associated with conditions like arthritis and urinary tract infections (UTIs). It also promotes urination and soothes the urinary tract, making it helpful for addressing UTI symptoms.
