The true marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) belongs to the family of mallows. The true marshmallow can be found from southern Russia and Kazakhstan to the Altai Mountains. It is also native to southern Europe, the Balkans, and the Iberian Peninsula.

The mallow (Althaea officinalis) has been valued for its healing properties since ancient Greece and Rome, with the roots being used for coughs, inflammations, and digestive issues. In the 19th century, the plant began to be used in the food industry, particularly for the production of candies like marshmallows – the name "marshmallow" comes from the plant itself. Today, mallow extract continues to be used in modern phytotherapy due to its soothing and expectorant effects.
