what else you should know
The genus name of the plant comes from the Greek word althainein, which means, "to heal." Due to the high mucilage content found throughout the entire plant, marshmallow is traditionally used to make syrups and lozenges to soothe mucous membranes and counter sore throat, stomach ulcers and cough associated with bronchitis.
The roots are particularly high in starch and mucilage content, which soothes mucous membranes. Although the ancient Greeks could not have known this, they commonly used the herb as a demulcent to treat peptic ulcers and other inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.
