mallow plant that grows in marshes is also the plant most associated
with the month of September. Before we asked for 'smore' of this
confection, parts of this plant were used medicinally in the East for
everything from curing chronic sore throats to clearing urinary tract
infections. The Chinese actually use this plant as home decor during
September to bring luck and good fortune into the home. This friendly
and non-toxic herb helped the Greeks with their grieving processes and
so began that cultural tradition of planting mallow around gravesites.
It's also believed that this particular plant can repel negativity along
with that superstitious and ire provoking 'evil eye.' Adding the leaves
of this plant to your bath is thought to soften your nature and any
hard feelings you might be harboring towards someone else. Taking mallow
in the form of a flower essence is said to unify heart and mind so that
there's no imbalance in either direction; either a propensity to over
emotional behavior or towards over intellectualization or over analysis.
In fact, in the language of flowers, the mallow is translated as 'sweet
disposition.' The Egyptians were the first culture to make this treat a
sugary confection in efforts to let a spoonful of sugar help this
medicine go down. So the next time you need to whisper sweet nothings
because your throat or voice might be strained, reaching for some mallow
instead. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, those delicious
Mallomars might actually make you feel better physically while making
you more attractive to the opposite sex. Now, that's something saaweeet!

Uses
In herbalism, mallow is used as a gargle to treat mouth and throat ulcers.
The flowers and young leaves can be eaten, and are often added to salads or are boiled and fried. Another application is cosmetic treatment for the skin.
The root has been used since Egyptian antiquity in a honey-sweetened confection useful in the treatment of sore throat.[2] The later French version of the recipe, called pâté de guimauve (or "guimauve" for short), included an eggwhite meringue and was often flavored with rose water. Pâté de guimauve more closely resembles contemporary commercially available marshmallows, which no longer contain any actual marshmallow.
The root's emulsifying property is used for cleaning Persian carpets in the Middle East. It is regarded as the best method to preserve the vibrancy of vegetable dyes used in colouring the carpet's wool.
