Herbs Botanica Calamus Root Loose Dried Herb For Skin, Stomach Health Benefits Herbal Tea Sweet Flag/Sway/Vacha/Muskrat Root/Vasambu 1 Lb Bulk Bag

This calamus root is Just perfect for my needs & very well packaged too which I greatly appreciate

Very good quality.

The flavor and scent help calm the mind and nice to drink on those stressing days to get get a grip and relax. Was intrigued on the package under uses it stated used to remove smell of tobacco, stimulant, increase sense of well-being or hallucinogen. Hmmmm, I am assuming that is for the dry roots? Also is to help inflammation of stomach, natural way besides turning to over the counter drugs or medicines. Taste is a sweet woody rooty flavor. Could add some fruit tea or dried fruit flowers to enhance flavor. A little bit goes a long way. Natural and Organic. Directions, Ingredients, usage on packaging. More information, pictures and store to visit on products listing page. Reasonable price for quality and quantity compared to similar brands/styles. I will get back to you on the chewing a root and the results.

This is a large quantity of Calamus Roots packaged inside a well-labeled, press-zip pouch before being further contained within a sealed plastic baggie. I appreciate that these roots are organic, as I wouldn’t have ordered them otherwise. Before using this, read about the safety concerns of certain varieties to decide whether you feel comfortable proceeding. As far as benefits go, the packaging does a great job relaying them. It’s interesting that this tea can be used as a hallucinogen, so I’ll have to see whether I ever experience that effect, as so far, I have not. The flavor is not exciting, but it’s not unpleasant to me either. I’ll have no problem continuing to drink the remainder of this for basic relaxation and some of the very nice benefits.

This root has a very interesting flavor. I have been making tea with it, they suggest other uses but it would involves grinding the root pieces somehow. I just put the roots in a cup or teakettle and pour boiling water over it and let it steep. The flavor is hard to describe, kind of sweet and earthy like. It is definitely enjoyable, but not when it cools down, it needs to be hot to be the best flavor. So far for health benefits it has helped my stomach settle a little bit, which is something I desperately need. I have not experienced the other benefits it suggests yet, but I have not used it on my skin because like I said you would need to grind up the roots. I will continue to drink and see if there are other benefits. Also, no reverse reactions so far either.
