The Marsh-Mallow plant was harvested from salt marshes and on banks near large bodies of water. According to Viable Herbal Solutions “Nineteenth century doctors extracted juice from the marsh mallow plant’s roots and cooked it with egg whites and sugar, then whipped the mixture into a foamy meringue that later hardened, creating a medicinal candy used to soothe children’s sore throats. Eventually, advanced manufacturing processes and improved texturing agents eliminated the need for the gooey root juice altogether. Unfortunately, that eliminated the confection’s healing properties as a cough suppressant, immune system booster and wound healer.”
