It is used as a mild expectorant (especially in pediatric practice), anti-inflammatory agent for acute and chronic respiratory diseases, peptic ulcer disease, and duodenal ulcer. Marshmallow herb contains 35% mucus, starch, pectin, and minerals. The high content of mucilaginous substances allows marshmallow preparations to cover the mucous membranes of the body with a protective layer for a long time, protecting them from further damage, while facilitating the spontaneous regeneration of damaged tissues and reducing the inflammatory process. Marshmallow has expectorant, analgesic, and antitussive effects.
