Wild Crafted Marshmallow Leaf Dried Cut ~ 100% Premium
Botanical Name: Althaea Officinalis
Marshmallow, also known as Sweet Weed and Mortification Root, is a flowering perennial native to Africa and naturalized in Europe. Elsewhere, the plant is grown as an ornamental garden specimen. It is also used to lend a mild, sweet flavor to foods and beverages and a soothing quality to topical preparations. Because the leaf contains pectin and mucilage, the herb is a natural thickening agent and emollient.
Marshmallow was once thought to have influence where affairs of the heart were concerned. A bouquet of the leaves left on the grave of a loved one was believed to ensure a safe journey to the next world, while a bunch placed on a windowsill of the home would guarantee the return of a lover gone astray.
