❡ Arrowroot

❡ Use in Traditional Herbalism
Arrowroot has long been used as an easily digested food for babies and convalescents.
It is used in much the same manner as slippery elm helping to soothe and nourish. A small study in the United Kingdom indicated that it might be useful in reducing diarrhea and easing abdominal pain in those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome.
It relieves acidity, indigestion, and colic as it exerts a mildly laxative action on the large bowel.
In the Yucatán, a poultice is made from pounded arrowroot rhizomes and used on ulcers and wounds. It is also eaten to treat urogenital tract ailments.
In Trinidad, arrowroot is used to treat sunburn.
