Acorus Calamus - Naturally Aromatic, Medicinal Rhizome Extract | Historical Use In Perfume, Ancient Remedies, And Natural Stimulant Benefits

We are reliable company for trading and supplying of Acorus Calamus from Baraut, Uttar Pradesh, India. Acorus Calamus has been an item of trade in many cultures for thousands of years. It has been used medicinally for a wide variety of ailments, and its aroma makes calamus essential oil valued in the perfume industry. In Britain the plant was also cut for use as a sweet smelling floor covering for the packed earth floors of medieval dwellings and churches, and stacks of rushes have been used as the centrepiece of rushbearing ceremonies for many hundreds of years.[16] It has also been used as a thatching material for English cottages.[17] In antiquity in the Orient and Egypt, the rhizome was thought to be a powerful aphrodisiac. Among the northern Native Americans, it is used both medicinally and as a stimulant. It is believed by some that calamus is a hallucinogen. This urban legend is based solely on two pages of a book written by Hoffer and Osmund entitled The Hallucinogens. The information on these two pages came from anecdotal reports from two individuals who reported that they had ingested calamus on a few occasions.[7][18] None of the components in calamus are converted to TMA (trimethoxyamphetamine) in the human organism.[18] To date there is no solid evidence of any hallucinogenic substances in calamus.
