Marshmallow root is a perennial herb that grows natively in Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa. For thousands of years, people have been using it as a natural remedy for the effective treatment of a variety of conditions, such as digestive, respiratory and skin issues.

Its healing properties can be attributed to a gelatin-like substance known as mucilage, which coats and lubricates the throat when swallowed. Make a cold marshmallow root infusion to soothe your sore throat using cold water and one ounce of dried marshmallow root. You can put the marshmallow root in cheesecloth and tie it up so the root won’t spill out. Submerge the bundle in water and steep it the way you would a tea bag, but let it infuse overnight (or for the duration of eight hours). Remove the bundle and drink (sweeten with a sweetener of your choice if necessary).
