Its beauty secret lies within the root

Marshmallow—a symbol of softness—is a European medicinal plant that dates back to ancient times. Its roots, leaves and flowers are rich in mucilage—a soothing ingredient used in traditional medicine to cleanse wounds, treat irritations, sore throats, inflammations and coughing. Marshmallow root was once given to children to chew on to promote tooth growth, and to ease teething pain.
