Althaea officinalis (leaf)
European herb with same mucilaginous properties as marshmallow root but from leaf; used for respiratory and digestive soothing, and as a complement to the root.
Marshmallow leaf (Althaea officinalis) is a European herb whose leaves contain mucilage, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, providing demulcent and anti-inflammatory actions. It is used primarily for soothing irritated mucous membranes in the respiratory and digestive tracts, and as a complement to marshmallow root. Its key active compounds include mucilage, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to its expectorant and wound-healing properties.
The mucilage in marshmallow leaf forms a protective gel layer on mucous membranes, reducing irritation and inflammation. Flavonoids and phenolic acids inhibit pro-inflammatory mediators such as COX-2 and LOX, while tannins provide mild astringent effects. The polysaccharides may also modulate immune responses by interacting with toll-like receptors on macrophages. Additionally, the herb's demulcent action can reduce cough reflex sensitivity and soothe gastrointestinal lining.
