🌱 Product Description

Calamus Oil is an intense, spicy, warm-sweet aromatic essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the dried rhizomes of Acorus calamus, a perennial wetland plant native to India and Southeast Asia. Known in Ayurveda as "Vacha", this oil has long been revered for its calming, grounding, and stimulant properties, and is commonly used in natural perfumery, incense, and traditional wellness applications.

With a distinctive scent profile that is earthy, woody, and slightly leathery with hints of cinnamon and ginger, Calamus Oil is also valued for its ability to enhance mental clarity, relieve fatigue, and balance the nervous system. It is often included in sacred attars and grounding fragrance blends.
