Calamus root, derived from the plant Acorus calamus, has been known for centuries for its versatile health benefits. This robust root has a slightly bitter taste and is often used in herbal medicine for its digestive-enhancing and calming properties. Calamus root grows primarily in humid areas and has a long history of use in traditional medicine, both in Europe and Asia. The calamus root we offer grows wild, in its natural habitat. Its wild growth gives it an intense character and a particularly rich taste and aroma.

Sustainable packaging

Our herbs are packaged in resealable pouches that protect against light, air, and moisture, helping to preserve their aroma, quality, and properties as well as possible. The pouches are made of paper with a compostable protective layer and are industrially compostable. In many municipalities, they can be disposed of with organic waste. Home composting is also possible, although it may take a bit longer (about 1–2 years). More information about our packaging choice.
