Scientific Summary

Musk mallow (Abelmoschus moschatus) is a herbaceous flowering plant whose tuberous roots and leafy stems contain mucilage and a range of bioactive compounds. Its roots, roots tea, and leaf decoction are traditionally used to soothe coughs and congestion, ease digestive upset, and support liver and kidney function through anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant actions. The herb is generally well tolerated, though high intake can irritate the stomach and those taking blood‑thinners or with known allergies should use caution.
