Marshmallow - Uses and Benefits
Family: N.O. Malvaceae.
The stems, which die down in the autumn, are erect, 3 to 4 feet high, simple, or putting out only a few lateral branches. The leaves, shortly petioled, are roundish, ovate-cordate, 2 to 3 inches long, and about 1 1/4 inch broad, entire or three to five lobed, irregularly toothed at the margin, and thick.
Marshmallows seem little more than glorified sugar puffs. It's hard to believe that the sugary confections have a place in medical history-even though the modern kind no longer contain the herb that gives them their name. Real marsh mallow is a plant with a long root that actually does grow in a marsh. They are soft and velvety on both sides, due to a dense covering of stellate hairs. The flowers are shaped like those of the common Mallow, but are smaller and of a pale colour, and are either axillary, or in panicles, more often the latter.
Marshmallow or Respiratory in an herbal form might sound unusual to someone unfamiliar with herbology. But long before the white squishy balls were sitting in supermarket stores, the plant was growing in marshes. The plant is a member of the mallow family, which prefers wet places such as marshes for its habitat.
