Arrowroot has many medicinal properties. Arrowroot is often used as a nutritional food for infants and for people especially recovering from illness. Arrowroot is very useful in the treatment of intestinal and stomach ailments. This very effective in solidifying the stools and hence it is very effective in treating loose motions or diarrhoea.
Direct application of rhizome gives a soothing effect on the gums.
