Marshmallow root was used by the Egyptians and Greeks thousands of years ago. Today, herbal and Ayurveda practitioners use it for respiratory and intestinal benefits. This root is made primarily of carbohydrates, but it also contains amino acids and beneficial glycosides. Research shows that these constituents allow marshmallow root to exert a positive influence on irritated oral tissues and airways.
