Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) is a demulcent herb that has mucilaginous properties to provide a soothing coating for the horse's stomach and intestinal tract, as well as support the respiratory system.
The sticky substance forms a gel-like layer over mucous membranes from the respiratory tract right the way through the digestive tract. Marshmallow Root is ideal not only to settle respiratory issues but also for gastric and hindgut discomfort and disorders.
