Description
Marshmallow's genus Althaea is derived from the Greek word atho, meaning 'to cure'. It was advocated by Hippocrates for its virtues and has long been used as food in times of famine.Marshmallow has many uses, so a good reference book is helpful. Making strong tea or adding it to herbal syrups are two favourites.
While both Marshmallow leaf and root have similar benefits, you'll find that the root makes more mucilage, while the leaf has other uses. The mucilage property is very desirable for water-borne applications.
