- General Information: Calamus root, also known as sweet flag root, is the rhizome of the Acorus calamus plant, native to wetlands in Europe, Asia, and North America. It has a long history of use in traditional medicine and culinary practices. Calamus root is characterized by its aromatic scent and bitter, pungent taste. It is often used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages and is valued for its potential health benefits.
- Medicinal Use: Calamus root contains bioactive compounds such as acorin and β-asarone, which are believed to have digestive, carminative, and nervine properties. In traditional herbal medicine, calamus root is used to promote digestion, alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort, and support mental clarity and focus. It is also used as a natural remedy for conditions such as indigestion, flatulence, and anxiety.
- How to Use: Calamus root can be used to make a decoction or tincture for internal use, or it can be chewed for its stimulating effects. To prepare a calamus root decoction, simmer 1-2 teaspoons of dried calamus root in a cup of water for 10-15 minutes. Strain the liquid and drink it up to three times a day. An example of how to use it would be to sip on calamus root tea before meals to aid digestion or to chew on a small piece of calamus root to refresh the breath and stimulate the mind.
