- Out of Stock -
Indian tribes in Canada and the U.S. made numerous uses of Calamus root; one being that they ate the root as a general tonic and when undertaking long hunts. An advantage to obtaining the whole root of this plant is that when aromatic herbs are powdered, the volatile oils they contain will more readily evaporate.

Native American Indians would simply eat roots in 1-inch sections as a general tonic, in 2-inch sections to help them continue their hunts. Calamus has a certain sweetness as well as a sour quality and a heat like ginger or cinnamon. Again, these are WHOLE pieces of organic Acorus calamus var. Americanus root that average 2-3 inches long. This is not powder.

Indian tribes in Canada and the U.S. made a remarkable number of uses for calamus root. Among the many, they would eat the roots in 1-inch sections as a general tonic and in 2-inch sections when on hunts; tie the root to blankets or clothing as a charm to keep ghosts of the night away; heat the root in water for a soothing aromatic tea; and pulverize the root and mix it with the bark of red willow for smoking.

Calamus root has a certain sweetness as well as a sour quality and a heat like that of cinnamon bark or ginger. An advantage to obtaining the whole root of this plant is that when aromatic herbs are powdered, the volatile oils they contain will more readily evaporate. What we provide are the WHOLE roots of organic A. calamus var. Americanus and not the powder. There is no cutting or sifting of the root; only the actual specimen as it comes from the Earth, just as Mother Nature intended.

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.*
