Marshmallow (Yao Shu Kui) is not blue mallow (a similar plant but different species that has similar properties as marshmallow but is instead typically used externally.) Marshmallow is famous for its mucilage content that gives it moistening and lubricating properties. It is excellent for treating sore throats, stomach ulcers and hot pus filled wounds.
