Marshmallow root is a lesser-known herb with mucilaginous properties that make it a powerful ally for gut health.

Marshmallow root has been used traditionally to treat digestive issues like gastritis and colitis. By incorporating marshmallow root into your wellness regimen, you can support a healthy digestive system and enhance nutrient absorption. Whether consumed as a tea or supplement, marshmallow root offers a gentle and natural way to promote gut health and overall vitality.
