Calamus essential oil Acorus calamus is steam distilled from a red-like aquatic plant growing to about 1m high, it grows on the margins of lakes and streams. Its erect, sword-shaped leaves bear considerable resemblance to those of the Yellow Flag, hence its equally common popular name of 'Sweet Flag,' though it is not related botanically to the Iris. Calamus has been highly esteemed as an aromatic stimulant and tonic, often used for nervous complaints, vertigo, headaches, and dysentery. Calamus fluid extract is an official preparation in the United States and some other Pharmacopceias. Please check our essential oil index page for a complete listing of all our essential oils.
