Arrowroot is primarily a culinary starch, but in traditional wellness, it is prized for being extremely gentle and easy to digest. It is used as a soothing food for infants and those recovering from illness. It has a cooling nature and is used to relieve digestive discomfort and diarrhea. Topically, it is an excellent base for body powders and dry shampoos due to its silky texture and ability to absorb moisture.
● As a Soothing Food: Mix Arrowroot powder with cool water to make a slurry before adding it to hot liquids to prevent clumping. It can be made into a simple, nourishing porridge.
● As a Natural Dry Shampoo: Puff a small amount of Arrowroot powder into the roots of your hair to absorb excess oil and add volume.
● As a Body Powder: Use as a gentle, natural alternative to talcum powder to keep skin dry and prevent chafing.
We source high-quality Arrowroot rhizomes from trusted cultivators.
The rhizomes undergo a careful process of washing, pulping, and straining to extract the pure starch, which is then dried and milled into a fine, silky powder.
