Calamus Root Herb - Acorus Calamus

Calamus General Information
Since biblical times Calamus has been used for medicinal purposes. It has an aromatic rhizome and was used in the sacred incenses of ancient Egyptians, and was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Dioscorides believed smoking the plant through a funnel relieved coughs. During medieval times churches and houses used the aromatic leaves of this herb as an air-freshener and insecticide. It has also been used as a remedy for various sorts of digestive upsets and colic, especially in children. Many North American Indians used the rhizome to help them communicate with the spirit world, and the Pawnee have a number of songs eulogizing this herb. Both the leaves and rhizome contain asarones, which are properties that produce mescaline-like hallucinogenic actions. The asarones are also carcinogenic. Scientific investigations have shown that there are actually four different drug types of Calamus, each originating from a different variety of Acorus calamus growing in different geographical areas of the world. Drug type I is found in North America and its oil is isoasarone free. Drug type II is produced in western Europe from plants originating in eastern Europe. Its volatile oil usually contains less than 10% isoasarone. Drug types III and IV are varieties whose volatile oils may contain as much as 96% cis-isoasarone. The American variety in this section is the Drug type I and although the absolute safety of type I Calamus has yet to be proven by extensive clinical tests, it is at least free of the carcinogenic isoasarone which renders the other drug types unsuitable for medicinal use.

Calamus Uses & Scientific Evidence For
Today Calamus is used for the relief from headaches and toothaches. This herb helps ward off exhaustion and fatigue, and can help prevent a hangover. Calamus is sometimes used to quell a cough. An infusion of the rhizome can help with fevers and dyspepsia. Chewing the rhizome will ease digestion and clear the voice. It can be used to cleanse and disinfect the teeth. This plant works well for digestive problems such as gas, bloating, colic, and poor digestive function. Though there is no scientific evidence to support this claim, Calamus root has also been used in the treatment and cure of diabetes, when Western medicine has failed to be of use. The Chinese use it for constipation and in India it is used to reduce fever, calm asthma and bronchitis, and is used as a sedative. In Ayurvedic medicine, Calamus is used as a "rejuvenator" for the brain and nervous system, and as a remedy for digestive disorders.
