Marshmallow Root, also known as Althaea Officinalis, is a perennial herb that’s native to Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa. It has traditionally been used as a folk remedy for thousands of years to treat digestive, respiratory, and skin conditions. Being a slippery herb, with lots of mucilage, its main job is to heal by coating and soothing any inflammation that is on a mucous membrane. If you suffer from any digestive issues, ie. acid reflux, diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, heartburn or ulcers - adding marshmallow root to your tea may assist to coat and soothe. In magickal practice, Marshmallow Root is a protective and cleansing herb. Burning Marshmallow Root cleanses your space or altar area. Marshmallow root can be used to infuse oil to anoint yourself when you feel the need to be protected from demons or spells cast against you. If you are journeying in the astral world and wish for some extra protection, apply this oil before you enter your meditation. Marshmallow Root can also be used for love and fertility spells, and is suitable for handfastings or to enhance sex magick. Also associated with death and rebirth, Marshmallow Root can be used in departing rituals, to honor the dead.
