Calamus Root Powder
This root was a favorite of Native American tribes and had many uses. The Cree considered calamus root useful in treating fatigue as well as aches and pains. The pungent aroma of calamus has a certain sweetness as well as a sour quality and a heat like ginger or cinnamon.

Be careful when choosing the Calamus root you buy. You can find plenty of calamus from China and India. Our Calamus is hand gathered in the Oregon wilderness and brought to you in unadulterated form. There are many varieties available. Our calamus is always American Calamus (Americanus), which grows only in the northern United States. Acorus calamus var. Americanus contains plenty of Alpha-asarone, but it lacks significant amounts of  Beta-asarone, which is suspected of being carcinogenic.*
