Marshmallow root is one of nature’s most soothing herbs, especially when it comes to the esophagus and upper digestive tract.
Rich in mucilage, marshmallow forms a soft, gel-like coating that can calm irritation, ease discomfort, and support healing in sensitive mucosal tissues. It’s particularly helpful for those experiencing reflux, throat irritation, or that raw, burning feeling that can follow meals or stress.
Sipped slowly as a cool infusion or a marshmallow glycertract or taken as a powder in water, marshmallow works by gently coating and protecting, not by blocking or suppressing. It also increases beneficial bacteria in the gut.
It’s a beautiful reminder that healing can be soft, slow, and supportive.
