Arrowroot powder is extracted from the plant Arrowroot, a tuber that is used widely in traditional medicine for the treatment of diarrhoea, urinary tract infections, and respiratory issues. Arrowroot is a traditional food during the winter month of Dhanu, November-December, where kapha dominates the body. The powder is used as a light porridge mixed in water and milk to help with elimination of kapha from the body. 

Arrowroot is also a highly adulterated product, mixed with cornstarch and other similar flour based products, arrowroot loses its potency. We source our arrowroot from our local organisation that grows their own arrowroot, and processes it under Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) guidelines.
