Marshmallow root is a soft, fibrous root from the Althaea officinalis plant, long respected in traditional European and Indigenous herbal practices. Known for its delicate flavour and smooth texture, it has been used in folk herbalism to create calming tea blends and seasonal herbal preparations.

Its unique mucilaginous properties, which naturally occur when steeped in warm water, make it a favourite among herbalists for creating soothing botanical infusions and ceremonial teas.

Key Qualities • Traditionally included in root-based herbal teas and wellness blends • Naturally contains plant mucilage, contributing to a gentle, earthy brew • Commonly used in folk herbal traditions, especially during cooler seasons • Valued for its soft texture and mild herbal flavour

How to Use Steep 1 tsp in hot water for 5–10 minutes and strain. Ideal when blended with licorice root, slippery elm, or seasonal flowers for a rich tea experience.
