Traditional & Folk Herbal Context
Calamus is an herbaceous perennial native to wetland environments, growing in marshes, swamps, and along waterways. A member of the Araceae family, it has sword-shaped leaves and an aromatic rhizome that has been referenced in traditional herbal systems across Asia and later in Europe and North America. Historically, the plant was valued for its fragrance and presence, with the leaves once strewn on floors for scenting spaces. Calamus appears in cultural literature and folklore and has long been recognized for its aromatic qualities. These uses are shared as historical and educational context only.
