Curcuma angustifolia
Espèce indienne de Curcuma dont le rhizome riche en amidon est utilisé comme aliment facilement digestible et pour les troubles digestifs.
Curcuma angustifolia, known as Indian arrowroot, is a starchy rhizome traditionally used in Indian cuisine and folk medicine as a demulcent and nutritive for digestive complaints. Its primary active constituents include easily digestible starch, curcumin analogs, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to its soothing and astringent properties. Evidence level C supports its use as a gentle digestive aid and infant food, though clinical data remain limited.
The high starch content forms a protective, demulcent coating on the gastrointestinal mucosa, reducing irritation and peristalsis. Curcumin analogs and flavonoids may exert mild anti-inflammatory effects via COX-2 inhibition and antioxidant pathways, while tannins provide astringent actions that can help reduce diarrhea. These combined mechanisms support its traditional use for soothing digestive upset and providing easily assimilated nutrition.
