Maranta arundinacea - Arrowroot Pharmacology

High amounts of potassium in arrowroot help soften the blood vessels and arteries; this helps to halt high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes (due to the high levels of potassium). It also seems to stimulate brain health.

Arrowroot lowers cholesterol; stimulates bile production (increases cholesterol uptake by the gallbladder for bile synthesis).
Arrowroot seems to be an effective therapy for poisoned wounds such as snake- and spider bites.

The rhizome extracts have immunostimulatory effects (boost the immune system).
Arrowroot tuber powder contains resistant starch acting as dietary fibers that could stimulate the immune system.

Hyperacidity (condition where the level of acid in gastric juices is excessive) and gastric ulcers are common these days; Maranta arundinacea (Arrowroot) is used in folklore practice for the therapy of these complains.

Arrowroot is an effective natural remedy for (acute) diarrhea and constipation. It is very helpful for patients with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome and abdominal pain).
