Both the root and the leaf of the Marshmallow plant contain a substance known as mucilage, a mucus-like substance that does not dissolve in water. It is this substance that causes Marshmallow to swell up and become slippery when wet. This attribute of the Marshmallow plant gives it the ability to soothe irritated linings of mucous membranes particularly the digestive tract, as well aid in the temporary relief of coughing.
