Calamus root (Acorus calamus) has been used for centuries as an effective digestive support and tonic. It contains many valuable natural substances such as essential oils, vitamins, tannins and other active ingredients that help improve digestion, reduce stomach pain and bloating, and support overall health.
Nature’s Alchemy has harnessed the power of calamus root in its latest product, GastroCare+, designed to support the digestive system. This product contains a carefully selected calamus root extract that improves digestion, helps relieve stomach discomfort and promotes overall health. The composition of calamus root is especially rich – it contains terpenes (for example, pinene, camphene, borneol), sesquiterpenoids (elemene, calamine), glycoside acorin, essential oils, tannins, vitamins C and B, starch, iodine and the alkaloid calamine. Azalea, which is part of the essential oils, the content of which can reach 80%, has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and antibacterial properties.
“Calamus root is a plant with powerful healing properties: its natural active ingredients help not only the stomach, but also the overall balance of the body,” says the expert at Nature’s Alchemy. “Thus, calamus root can replace mild heartburn medications, antispasmodics (anticonvulsants) and some natural anti-inflammatory drugs, but it should not be used as a full-fledged alternative to heavier groups of drugs without consulting a doctor.”
The properties of calamus root are also widely known in folk medicine – it not only aids digestion, but also acts as an antiseptic and diuretic, thereby supporting the health of the kidneys and urinary tract. Of particular value is the substance asarone, which is the main active ingredient of calamus essential oil and has anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties that help reduce spasms and inflammation of the stomach.
When applied externally, calamus root decoction helps strengthen hair – reduces hair loss and stimulates new hair growth, making hair stronger and healthier.
However, it should be remembered that calamus root is not suitable for pregnant women, children under 12 years of age, and people with individual intolerance. Before using the product, it is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist.
