Zhivana Organics Organic Marshmallow Root Tea Loose 10 oz — High-Mucilage Throat & Digestive Soothing

Zhivana Organics Organic Marshmallow Root Tea is a loose 10 oz herbal tea made from USDA-certified Althaea officinalis roots, dried and wild-harvested to deliver gentle, mucilage-rich support for throat and digestive comfort.

Harvested in ecologically clean regions of Ukraine and processed using traditional drying methods, this loose-leaf marshmallow root tea emphasizes purity and potency. We collect roots in their second year—when the plant stores the most active compounds—then gently dry them to preserve mucilage and flavor. The result is a natural, single-ingredient infusion you can enjoy hot or cold for soothing sensations along the throat and digestive lining.

How does this marshmallow root tea soothe throat and respiratory irritation?

Marshmallow root contains natural mucilage, a slippery plant compound that coats irritated tissues and may help reduce the scratchy or dry feeling in the throat. A warm infusion spreads this coating throughout the mouth and upper respiratory tract for short-term, soothing relief.

• High-mucilage roots harvested at peak potency for better coating action
• Single-ingredient formula, no fillers or artificial flavors
• Loose leaf allows stronger, customizable brews to maximize soothing effect

Can I use this tea to support digestive comfort and gut lining?

When taken as a mild herbal infusion, marshmallow root’s mucilage can create a protective film along the digestive tract, which many people find calming for occasional irritation or sensitivity. It’s a gentle option to include in a soothing beverage routine, though not a substitute for medical advice when persistent problems occur.

• Soothes irritated digestive tissues with natural plant mucilage
• Loose root pieces steep into a mild, non-acidic infusion suitable for sensitive stomachs
• Works well alone or combined with other gentle herbs per preference

How should I prepare and store the 10 oz loose marshmallow root for best results?

For a basic infusion, steep 1–2 teaspoons of chopped root in 8 ounces of hot (not boiling) water for 10–15 minutes to extract mucilage. You can increase steep time or root quantity for a thicker, more coating brew; refrigerated leftover tea also makes a cooling rinse or sipping option.

• Steep 1–2 tsp per cup for 10–15 minutes; longer steeping yields a thicker mouthfeel
• Store in a cool, dry, airtight container away from sunlight to preserve potency
• Use within the container’s recommended timeframe for best freshness

Traditional drying methods are used to retain natural mucilage and aroma without chemical treatments.
