Pure starch from the root of the arrowroot plant.
Primarily used to soothe an uneasy stomach and alleviate
diarrhea or nausea and vomiting. Since it contains calcium and
carbohydrates as well as other nutrients, arrowroot is also used as an
easily digested source of nutrition for infants, people recovering from
illnesses (especially those with bowel problems), and those on restricted
diets . The herb is considered easier on the stomach than other forms of
starch.
