Arrowroot

Nogürt is made from the ancient and traditional Arrowroot plant, which had been used throughout recorded history to help with digestive ailments.

The arrowroot is just one of many plants that the European settlers and explorers discovered in the New World.  The plant also had medicinal value because its tubers could be used to draw poison from wounds inflicted by poison arrows.

Arrowroot is an easily digested as well as a nourishing plant that has been consumed for centuries.  Arrowroot is a nutritious, high in calcium and is used to soothe and heal the digestive tract as well as alleviate diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.  It relieves excessive acidity, nausea, indigestion, and colic and is a mild laxative.

The arrowroot plant is native to the tropics of South America. It has a long history of cultivation by native peoples, who developed an extensive treatment process for extracting the usable arrowroot powder from the roots.

Since arrowroot contains calcium, carbohydrates, and other nutrients, it is also used as an easily digested source of nutrition for infants, people recovering from illnesses (especially those of the bowel), and those on restricted diets.

These properties make arrowroot the ideal plant to help us all improve our digestive health.
