CALAMUS, SWEET FLAG, RAT ROOT (Acorus americana)

Calamus is a wetland plant with many names that prefers flooded and fully saturated soil conditions with less then 2 feet of water.

The root (rhizome) of this plant has been traditionally used to make medicine.

Calamus is known for it’s extraordinarily bitter, hot roots and potent medicinal properties.

It is less known for the sweet leaves that both smell and taste like orange creamsicles.

Calamus has been used for gastrointestinal (GI) problems including ulcers, inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis), intestinal gas (flatulence), upset stomach and loss of appetite (anorexia).

Calamus is also used as a calming medicine (sedative), to induce sweating, and to treat rheumatoid arthritis and stroke.

Some people chew calamus to remove the smell of tobacco, as a stimulant, to increase their sense of well-being, and as a hallucinogen.

Some people apply calamus directly to the skin to treat certain skin diseases.

In foods, calamus is used as a spice.

It is thought that chemicals in calamus cause muscle relaxation and sedation.
