Calamus is a semi-aquatic perennial plant with aromatic, sword-shaped leaves and rhizomes. The rhizome is the medicinal part and has been used for centuries across the world for its effects on the mind. It contains compounds that have a stimulating and clarifying effect on the brain.
Vacha, meaning “to speak,” is Ayurveda’s primary herb for the mind, speech, and nervous system. It is a powerful Medhya Rasayana (brain tonic) with a heating potency that pacifies Vata and Kapha. It is used to enhance intelligence, improve memory, and promote clarity of speech. It is also a powerful detoxifier for the brain, helping to clear mental fog and sluggishness.
We source our Vacha root from clean, aquatic environments where it grows naturally.
The rhizomes are carefully harvested, cleaned, dried, and ground into a fine powder, preserving their potent aromatic and therapeutic qualities.
