Demulcent, emollient, mucilage, nutritive, vulnerary, laxative, diuretic, and protective.

Marshmallow is high in lime and calcium. The root especially is high in oxygen and pectin. When the powdered root is applied to moist surfaces, it will draw and absorb all moisture. Marshmallow is very soothing and healing to the inflamed respiratory, alimentary, intestinal, and genito-urinary areas.

Its diuretic and demulcent qualities are especially useful for urinary complaints because it has no astringent action and is somewhat relaxing. The powdered or crushed fresh roots make a first-rate poultice, and the leaves are excellent as a fomentation for inflammation. Its power in the decoction form for arresting mortification or putrefaction has been so great that it has been popularly-called "mortification root." Marshmallow is one of the best mucilage agents, giving off about 35% each of the vegetable mucus and starch. It is soothing and healing to the mucous membrane and agreeable to the taste. The powdered root is very absorbent. It is used in pharmacies to harden pills, troches, electuaries, etc.
