Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis, sometimes misspelled althea officinalis or althea root) has played a role in both food and herbal medicine for centuries. The roots of the plant have long been harvested as a vegetable by the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. The traditional medicinal uses of raiz de malvavisco organico are reflected in its latin name Althaea, which comes from the Greek word althainein, meaning "to heal." Marshmellow root contains flavonoids as well as low concentrations of ceramide precursors. While marshmallow tea has an excellent flavor on its own, marshmallow root and slippery elm are an excellent combination for supporting healthy mucous membranes due to the high mucilage content of both herbs.
