R92.00
Pharma Germania Natural Products Calamus Root Cut is a dried preparation of Acorus calamus, commonly known as Calamus, Sweet Flag or Sweet Root.
Calamus has been used in traditional European, Asian and Ayurvedic herbal practices, particularly as an aromatic bitter and digestive herb. Historically, preparations of the rhizome have been used to stimulate appetite and support digestion, including occasional sensations of bloating, gas and digestive discomfort.
The rhizome contains aromatic volatile oils and bitter compounds. Importantly, some varieties of Acorus calamus contain β-asarone, a constituent associated with significant safety concerns in animal studies. The concentration varies considerably according to the botanical variety and source.
Because the β-asarone content of this particular product has not been supplied, Calamus Root should not be treated as an unrestricted everyday herbal tea or food ingredient. Medicinal internal use is best undertaken only with appropriately qualified professional guidance.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Calamus Root Cut?
Calamus has a distinctive aromatic and bitter profile that accounts for much of its historical use in traditional digestive preparations.
The plant has a particularly long history across several herbal traditions. However, modern safety considerations are important. Different varieties of Acorus calamus can contain substantially different concentrations of β-asarone, and products should not be assumed to be β-asarone-free unless this has been specifically verified.
For this reason, traditional use needs to be balanced with appropriate caution, particularly for internal medicinal preparations.
