Marshmallow Root for Gut Health

When you hear “marshmallow,” you might think of sweet treats — but the marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) has been used for centuries as a soothing herbal remedy. Traditionally prized in herbal medicine, marshmallow root is now gaining recognition in modern wellness circles for its powerful ability to support gut health and digestive comfort.

Marshmallow root is rich in mucilage, a natural, gel-like substance that coats and soothes the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. This protective barrier helps calm irritation, reduce discomfort, and promote healing in the digestive system. By forming a gentle “film” along the gut lining, marshmallow root supports barrier integrity and provides relief from issues such as indigestion, heartburn, or gut inflammation.

In addition to its soothing properties, marshmallow root has mild prebiotic effects — helping to nourish beneficial gut bacteria. A balanced microbiome plays an essential role in nutrient absorption, immune defense, and overall digestive resilience. By supporting both the gut lining and microbial balance, marshmallow root acts as a two-in-one ally for long-term gut wellness.
