Frontier Marshmallow Root, Cut & Sifted, Organic
Frontier Organic Marshmallow Root (Althea officinalis) is a premium herbal ingredient sourced from the root of the marshmallow plant. The name Althea derives from Greek, meaning "healer"—a fitting tribute to this time-honored botanical. This herbaceous perennial thrives in damp environments and brings a naturally sweet, earthy, and subtly woody character to wellness recipes. Historically cultivated in medieval monasteries and home gardens, marshmallow root is now grown commercially across Europe. Due to wild harvesting restrictions in parts of Europe, our supply is organically cultivated and harvested in Bulgaria with no synthetic additives or chemical inputs throughout the entire growing process. Gluten-free and versatile, marshmallow root is a pantry staple for crafting syrups, teas, ointments, and lozenges. Its pleasant flavor and aroma make it equally suited to beverages and skincare formulations. Traditionally valued for respiratory comfort, sore throat relief, dry cough support, and digestive wellness, it also promotes bladder health and may help reduce edema when used topically or internally.
