Marshmallow has been used both as a remedy and as a food source since ancient times. It grows well in moist and sandy soil, reaching heights of 2-5 feet and requires full sunlight. Its uses range from laxatives to lotions to soothing skin irritations and the dried root can be used to clean your teeth.

This root has been known to attract benevolent spirits while bestowing protection. Marshmallow is used in handfasting and sex magick. It is considered an aphrodisiac and has the ability to inspire fidelity in a mate.
