Gentle, soft, and traditionally revered, our organic marshmallow leaf comes from Althaea officinalis, a beloved plant in the Malvaceae family known for its soothing, mucilage-rich nature. With a mild herbal flavour and versatile use, marshmallow leaf is a classic choice for teas and botanical blends.
Harvested from the aerial parts of the plant, marshmallow leaf has long been used in traditional preparations including herbal tea, syrup blends, and topical applications. Like the root, the leaf reflects marshmallow’s softening and moistening character, making it a steady ally in everyday herbal practice.
Marshmallow has been used for centuries across traditional Egyptian, Arab, Greek, and Roman systems, and continues to be appreciated in modern herbal routines for its gentle profile and broad versatility. Its long history as both food and herb gives it a unique place in the apothecary.
At Apotheka, our organic marshmallow leaf is sourced with attention to freshness, colour, and purity. Each batch is selected for quality and handled thoughtfully, resulting in a clean, high quality herb suitable for intentional daily use.
Precautions
Should be taken with at least 250 mL (8 oz) of liquid. Orally administered drugs should be taken 1 hour before use or several hours after, as marshmallow may slow absorption. Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
