Hi everyone! Welcome towww.earthessentialsbyerica.com and thank you for stopping by!

You may be wondering if this article talks about delicious marshmallows, which are very famous sweets all over the world! The answer is actually yes and no. These famous sweets, as soft as cotton balls, were originally prepared by extracting the juice of the plant that I will talk to you about, the Althaea officinalis.

A BIT OF HISTORY & CURIOSITY

Marshmallow root is part of a medicinal plant called Althea officinalis, which is part of the Malvaceae family. It is widespread in almost all of Europe and loves humid places such as ditches, canals, and embankments, a plant that loves the countryside. Its flowers are beautiful and delicate, ranging from mauve-pink to purple-red.

Marshmallow Plant

The plant, especially the root, is rich in mucilage, and its therapeutic power has been used for 2000 years. In fact, the roots have soothing, emollient, laxative, and calming properties, and in the past, they were given to babies to chew to relieve teething problems.
