Althaea officinalis

Soft. Soothing. Restorative.

Cooling in nature, comforting in spirit. Marshmallow Leaf adds a soft, healing touch to any smoke blend.

Marshmallow Leaf has been used in healing traditions since ancient Greece and also en Egypt. Its name reflects its purpose: from the Greek “althein”, meaning to heal [1]. Once prized by early herbalists for its powerful soothing properties, this plant has earned its place as a staple in respiratory and digestive care [2].

Traditionally, its leaves and flowers were used to calm irritation of the mucous membranes, relieving coughs, ulcers, and sore throats [2][3]. The root, once made into a gargle, was a go-to remedy for throat pain and inflammation [2].

Known for producing a fragrant, gentle smoke, Marshmallow Leaf soothes the lungs and moisturises dry airways, offering a soft, cool inhale that's ideal for anyone seeking a smooth and nourishing smoke [4].

And while it may not be psychoactive in the conventional sense, Marshmallow Leaf contains terpenoids that offer a subtle, mellow buzz making it a beautiful companion to cannabis, adding depth of flavour and a gentle calming effect.

Beyond its smoking qualities, Marshmallow Leaf supports:

• Relief from coughs and colds [2][3][7]

• Breastfeeding support [3]

• Repairing the gut lining (supports leaky gut) [2][7]

• Combatting bacterial infections [6][8]

• Easing digestive discomfort [2][3][7]

• Healing skin irritations and wounds [2][3][6][7][9]

• Urinary health, break-up stones and for urinary tract infections [2][9]

• Lowering inflammation and supporting heart health [3][7]

• Reducing water retention and bloating [7]
