Comment:
Arrow root is also known as nduma (italics) in Kenya and forms a staple food in many parts of the country. I eat it's a tasty complex carbohydrate and it has a soothing effect to the gut in times of diarrhoea. It is also believed to help hormonal balance in women, hence in some communities men avoid eating it.

Comment:
I use this on my dogs when they get a cut or sore on the skin. Heals it over night. I recently used it on my thumb when I cut out a piece of skin really deep on a piece of metal while fixing my washing machine. It works so well on my cut that I swear I saw it healing while I was looking at it. It took a day and a half to form a scab on it. Amazing stuff.
