Marshmallow provides marshmallow root, a traditional herb valued for its mucilage content. Like slippery elm, marshmallow becomes soothing and gel-like when combined with fluid, which is why it is commonly used for the throat, stomach and digestive tract.
Marshmallow is usually chosen when tissues feel irritated, dry or inflamed and you want something gentle. Because it is a single herb, the buying decision is mostly about whether you want marshmallow's soothing action on its own. It is especially useful to know that Marshmallow is more about comfort and coating support than about stimulating digestion.
