Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) is a gentle, soothing herb that has been valued for centuries in kitchens and home apothecaries alike. These cut and sifted root pieces are rich in natural mucilage, giving them a smooth, comforting quality that makes them ideal for teas, infusions, and homemade syrups.

Traditionally prepared as a cold infusion or decoction, marshmallow root adds a soft, earthy flavor to tea blends and works beautifully in body care recipes such as salves, balms, and herbal rinses. Grown in the USA, this versatile root is a homestead staple for culinary and DIY projects.
