Marshmallow root powder is a soothing, mucilaginous herb traditionally used to calm, coat, and protect irritated tissues throughout the body. When mixed with water, it becomes naturally “slippery,” forming a gentle, protective layer that can ease a dry, scratchy throat, support a sensitive digestive tract, and comfort the urinary system.
