Have You Met Marshmallow?
Althaea officinalis, or marshmallow, as it’s more commonly known, serves as an often-overlooked accent ingredient of several Adornleaf Tea Co. handmade herbal tea blends.
It’s subtle and grassy, it’s tasty, and its dried organic leaves serve as one of our fave ingredients to fill out a blend and add in a few wonderful wellness benefits. There’s much more to mention about marshmallow, including that
The leaf’s flavor is subtle, grassy, and a bit earthy
The entire plant has been used medicinally for thousands of years in herbal wellness, especially the roots, leaves, and flowers.
Marshmallow can help ease gastrointestinal issues including constipation, indigestion, and acid reflux.
Marshmallow is a mucilaginous herb, meaning it has a ‘slippery’, mild taste and swells in water. These herbs can be used to soothe and protect irritated tissues in the body, such as dry irritated skin and sore or inflamed mucous membranes in the nose and throat.
*Even though marshmallow is a superstar herb, you should still consult your trusted licensed medical professional before sustained consumption.
