What does it involve

In herbal remedies, the roots of the cassava are made into a poultice and applied directly to the skin as a treatment for sores. The leaf, root, and flour obtained from the plant can also be used in a wash that is applied to the skin. In developing countries, tapioca starch made from the cassava plant is used to help restore body fluids. Cassava leaves are sold in health food stores and on the Internet in capsule or powder form. Cassava root starch may be used in Vitamin C supplements.
