DESCRIPTION

Calamus Root Essential Oil, derived from the resilient Acorus calamus perennial plant, has a rich history rooted in both spiritual and medicinal traditions. Also known as Sweet Flag, this aromatic plant thrives in swampy, marshy environments and has been revered since ancient times. Mentioned in the Bible as a key ingredient in holy anointing oil (Exodus 30: 22-25), Calamus Root has also been cherished in Ayurvedic practices, where it is known as Vacha, for its purported aphrodisiac properties and balancing effects on the mind and body.

  • Aromatherapy: For diffusers, add a few drops (3-5) of Calamus Root Essential Oil to create a grounding and calming atmosphere that enhances focus and relaxation.
