In Tea:
Arrowroot powder is a mild, easily digestible root starch that has been used in traditional herbal remedies, particularly in soothing digestive health.
Benefits:
Digestive Health: Arrowroot is known for its ability to soothe the digestive system. It can help calm an upset stomach, alleviate nausea, and support the healing of gastric ulcers. It is often used as a mild food for those recovering from illnesses or surgery.
Relieves Diarrhea: Because of its gentle nature, arrowroot powder is commonly used to treat diarrhea, especially in children and the elderly. It helps to absorb excess moisture and restore the digestive tract's balance.
Nutrient Absorption: Arrowroot is easily digestible, making it an excellent food for people with sensitive stomachs. It provides a natural way to support nutrient absorption, especially when recovering from digestive illnesses or when the body is under stress.
Hydrating & Cooling: Arrowroot tea has a hydrating effect and helps to cool the body, making it a great option for soothing during fever or hot weather.
In Oil Infusion (for External Skin or Scalp Care):
Arrowroot powder is highly versatile in skincare, known for its light, smooth texture that works wonderfully when infused into oils for topical applications.
Benefits:
Soothing for Sensitive Skin: When added to oils, arrowroot helps soothe irritated or sensitive skin. It is commonly used in formulations for babies or people with delicate skin, providing a gentle touch to the skin without causing irritation.
Absorbs Excess Oil: Arrowroot powder has oil-absorbing properties, making it an excellent addition to oils used for oily or acne-prone skin. It can help balance oil production while maintaining moisture in the skin.
Promotes Soft, Smooth Skin: Arrowroot's soft, powdery texture can help create smooth, velvety-feeling skin. It is often used in body powders, creams, and lotions to improve the skin’s overall texture.
Natural Drying Agent: In skincare formulations, arrowroot is used to enhance the drying and thickening of products like balms, deodorants, and powders. It helps prevent the product from being greasy, providing a soft, non-oily finish.
Heals and Protects Skin: When infused in oils, arrowroot helps to protect the skin’s natural barrier, making it useful for treating minor cuts, rashes, or skin irritations. It helps lock in moisture while promoting skin regeneration.
