Soft, soothing, and deeply rooted in traditional herbal practice, our dried marshmallow root comes from Althaea officinalis, a classic herb in the Malvaceae family. Naturally rich in mucilage, marshmallow root has long been valued as a gentle botanical with a moistening, comforting character.
This plant is traditionally found in damp growing environments such as marshes, riverbanks, and coastal areas. Our organic marshmallow root is carefully sourced and selected for quality, freshness, and integrity, offering a clean whole-root herb that can be used in teas, syrups, infusion blends, and other traditional preparations.
Marshmallow has a long history across Egyptian, Arab, Greek, and Roman herbal traditions, where it was used as both food and botanical support. Over time, it also became part of culinary and cosmetic traditions, and remains one of the most recognizable herbs in modern herbalism.
At Apotheka, we purchase dried marshmallow root where it has been harvested with care to preserve its natural character and traditional value. Whether prepared as a decoction or a cold infusion, it offers a gentle and versatile addition to a daily herbal routine.
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.

There's a world of difference between this tea and the prepared marshmallow root teabags I was buying. Apotheka Herbal have managed to source a smooth tasting tea that has helped me significantly with heartburn issues. Great product!

All the herbs I ordered are excellent quality. I am an herbalist who has nerve damage from a dentist and marshmallow is one of the herbs in my recipe to help coat those hot nerve endings
Always great quality and customer service!
