How to Use
- Sore throat tea: Steep 1-2 tsp in hot water for 15+ minutes. Drink warm to coat and soothe your throat immediately
- Maximum mucilage: Cold-steep overnight in room temp water for the thickest, most soothing extraction
- Acid reflux relief: Drink 30 minutes before meals to create a protective barrier before eating
- Skin treatment: Make a strong infusion and apply as a compress to dry, irritated, or inflamed skin
Pro Tip: Cold water extracts MORE mucilage than hot water. For the silkiest, most therapeutic tea, steep 2 tbsp in 1 quart of room temperature water overnight. The thick, slightly viscous texture means it's working.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I feel relief?
Most people feel throat relief within minutes of drinking marshmallow root tea. The mucilage immediately coats irritated tissue. For digestive issues like acid reflux, consistent use over several days provides the best results as it helps rebuild protective barriers in your gut lining.
Why does my tea look thick and slimy?
That's the mucilage—and it means you're doing it right. That gel-like texture is exactly what coats and protects your throat and digestive tract. The thicker the tea, the more therapeutic benefit you're getting. Cold-steeping produces the thickest extraction.
Can I use this for skin issues?
Absolutely. Marshmallow root is excellent for dry, irritated, or inflamed skin. Make a strong cold infusion and apply as a compress to eczema, minor burns, rashes, or cracked skin. You can also add it to homemade lotions and salves. The mucilage draws moisture into skin cells and creates a protective barrier.
Is it safe to take daily?
Yes. Marshmallow root is considered very safe and gentle for daily use. It's been used for thousands of years across cultures. The one thing to note: take it 1-2 hours apart from medications, as the mucilage may slow absorption of other substances.
