Althaea officinalis, also known as marshmallow, is a perennial plant belonging to the mallow family. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and North Africa and prefers moist locations, often along riverbanks and in meadows.

The roots and leaves of the marshmallow plant have been known for centuries for their expectorant properties. In antiquity, it was valued by the Romans and Greeks and found its place in traditional medicine. The name "Althaea" is derived from the Greek word "altho," which means "to heal," underscoring the long history of this plant's use.

In homeopathy, Althaea officinalis is traditionally used to support the respiratory tract and alleviate irritation. The gentle properties of marshmallow make it a popular remedy in homeopathy, especially for coughs and cold symptoms.
