The Prepper Broadcasting Network - Herbal Medicine for Preppers: Calamus

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, y'all. Welcome to this week's show. Today we're going to talk about a really interesting herb. This one, well, I guess the first thing I need to make clear, it's Calamus. It's spelled C-A-L-A-M-U-S. Long history of use. Very long history of use, especially in Europe Europe and Asia. But to make clear, there is a marked difference between European Calamus and American Calamus. In recent years, and I do mean very recently, scientists have begun to say that European Calamus could have some slightly carcinogenic properties if used in long term. Like I said it's been used for literally thousands of years and it's an ingredient in the Swedish bitters we talked about before. I mean that formula is usually taken daily and

Starting point is 00:00:59 is considered to be very very good for you. So like with sassafras and comfrey and different herbs, the scientists say that, okay, there may be some potential of cancer causing carcinogen in the European version. So if you have a reason to be concerned about that. If you have family history of cancer, if you have had cancer, or whatever, right? The American version is generally regarded safe. The scientists have not been able to find that carcinogen in American calamus. So just keep that in mind. I am completely unconcerned about it. I told you before that a lot of those

Starting point is 00:01:45 studies are kind of ridiculous. I mean, like they'll give to mice in a laboratory the equivalent of 50 gallons of herbal tea a day for a human and then be surprised that it does something weird to them. Or they'll use things in very isolated, very concentrated doses that just can't be replicated using natural herbs in the methods we use. Teas and tinctures, folk methods of herbal medicine. Doesn't concern me at all, but if it does you, do your research and make your own decisions. Now, American Calamus is actually really plentiful. You'll probably find it growing most places you see cattails. So you're looking at riverbanks, ponds, lakes. If you're cattails, good chances could be Calamus there. It kind of looks similar. Calamus doesn't get the big, you know, corn, the big cob thing on top of it like

Starting point is 00:02:41 a cattail does. Actually, it's, I guess it is actually a corm, c-o-r-m, I'd have to look that up, but it gets a little spike of like flower seed the whole bit. You can't really call it a flower. It looks like a little horn coming out the side, not at the top like a cattail, but nearer to the top than the bottom, and it's yellow and that's so just really super easy to identify and you know you probably got some growing near you right now if you look for it or it's really easy to order online or from an herb shop but Calamus is just one of those herbs that's been

Starting point is 00:03:20 around forever. It's wow how long has it been around? Well, the first documented use of Calamus dates back to at least to ancient Egypt. You know, they had the Nile River there, a lot of cattails and reeds and rushes and Calamus growing, probably to ancient Sumerian Babylon, who knows how much further back. But it was recorded in what's known as the Chester Beatty Papyrus. That was the archeologist who discovered it. That's why it's named after him. Dating to approximately 1600 BC.

Starting point is 00:03:57 So literally one of the oldest documented uses of herbs, still in existence, and it was featured very prominently in ancient Egyptian herbal medicine. Pliny the Elder mentioned Calamus in Natural History, Book 5, Chapter 8. Now Pliny was an odd guy. You know I write a lot of books. Guys like Pliny and old Galen, I mean they wrote like I don't even know dozens hundreds of books in their lifetimes. They were supposed to be like encyclopedias of everything known at that time and they would just

Starting point is 00:04:37 dictate and they had slaves that wrote constantly and Pliny was one of those guys. Very important figure in history probably familiar with the name I used to call him Pliny that's the way it looks to me it's we always heard it growing up but a couple of Italians got in touch with me and said no it's Pliny that's the way we pronounce it here and you need to say it right so I'm trying anyway he said the use of Calamus, this is Aqorus, Calamus, A-C-O-R-U-S-C-A-L-A-M-U-S. He said it was a domestic medication used in India from the very earliest recorded times. So maybe it had use in India even further back than Egypt. Who knows? I'm sure it grows a lot on the Ganges. But he said it was sold commonly at this time and could be found throughout Greek Empire,

Starting point is 00:05:31 Roman Empire, you know, Hindustan, he said. He says it is popular in consequence, I guess I'm summarizing, due to its great value in bowel complaints, especially of children, and actually at this time a severe penalty by law was placed on any druggist that refused to open his door in the night to sell Calamus when demanded. Calamus has really good antispasmodic properties. It's really the first thing I go for if I start feeling like, you know, my stomach's cramping, may have a little diarrhea, maybe I ate some bad food. Yeah, calamus, it really just, it works very well.

Starting point is 00:06:17 It's intensely bitter and peppery and that also made it a fairly popular spice. You can use it in foods, you have to counter the bitterness, but it's peppery, like black pepper, basically. It kind of burns the tongue, and it's aromatic. He says, the antiquity of its use is shown by the fact that it was one of the constituent ointments Moses was commanded to make for the tabernacle and that's from Ecclesiastes The prophet Ezekiel

Starting point is 00:06:50 mentions it in Let's see the commerce of Tyre at the time bright iron cast the a calamus were in thy market Theophrastus mentions 2,000 years before Pliny was writing. So there you go. And Theophrastus apparently referred to it as a drug from India. So yeah, I mean it's just widespread.

Starting point is 00:07:17 And actually, interestingly this time in the Roman Empire, their main supply was coming from southern Russia through Germany. I mean you think about these trade routes, we can't even imagine the herbs and spices that were literally moving from Asia, East Asia to Western Europe and the British Isles and it really is fascinating to study that but we'll get into a little more medical use.

Starting point is 00:07:49 Dioscorides wrote of Calamus. Again, he said it was coming from India at his time in the Roman Empire. So I guess they were back to getting it from India and not from Russia, which is really odd any way you look at it. But he said, taken as a drink, it is able to induce the movement of urine. As a result it is good for drop seed defective kidneys, slow and painful urination and hernias, boiled either with grapeseed or seeds of apium and taken as a drink it draws out menstrual flow. Also

Starting point is 00:08:22 applied topically. It helps coughs either alone or with a resin, an aromatic tree. The smoke taken in the mouth through a funnel would help with coughs. That's very interesting. We don't really use it that way anymore. It is boiled for women's baths and infusions mixed with warm compresses and perfumes to make them smell sweet. It is aromatic. It was often used in perfumes. It may even still be used in perfumes today.

Starting point is 00:08:50 I don't know. In the Polish tradition, Sophie Hutterwick-Snav says that although calamus grows wild throughout Poland, its use in herbal medicine was brought to Europe in the 16th century from Asia. Well, I guess we know it goes back quite a bit further than that, but a vodka called, oh this is a Polish word, I'm not going to try to pronounce it, AJEROWKA or KLMUSOWKA was made from sweet flag or calimus. The herb was also used to decorate altars and houses and was used as a strewing herb in churches for Catholic feast days. Again, the aromatic qualities. They used to do a lot of aromatic herbs and flowers in churches because people didn't smell good. And, well, of course, burning incense goes back to long before Catholic tradition

Starting point is 00:09:47 to the ancient Jewish traditions of the temple. So it's one of those associated with religious worship. Callum has found much use in German folk medicine. Brother Aloysius recommends Callumus for nervous and pituitous fevers, trouble with that one, pituitous fevers especially accompanied by dysentery also used for abdominal pain, mucous stomach, intermittent fevers, weakness of the stomach and intestines, mucic acid, wind, hypochondria, hysterical complaints, phlegm in the chest, lucuria, scurvy, swollen spleen and to promote menstruation. So you can see why it's a very important herb. Getting up to the English tradition 1500s, Gerard, they were using domestic English calimus. He called it our sweet garden flag.

Starting point is 00:10:37 He says, it cocks from the roots of calimus, drunk, provoked with urine, helpeth the pain in the side, the liver, the spleen, the breast, convulsions, grippings and burstings. It easeth and helpeth the pain in the side, the liver, the spleen, the breast, convulsions, grippings, and burstings. It easeth and helpeth the pissing by drops." That is actually proper English at the time. And it means strangery, difficulty urinating. It is of great effect being put in broth or taken in fumes to provoke women's natural courses or accidents, as he said, induces menstruation. The juice strained with a little honey taketh away the dimness of the eyes and helpeth much against poison, the hardness of the spleen, and all infirmities of the blood.

Starting point is 00:11:17 The root, boiled in wine, stamped and applied plaster-wise to the cods, I don't really know what the cods are. Doth wonderfully abate the swelling of the same and help us all hardness and collection of humors. Let's see the quantity of half of the root drunk in four ounces of muscatail, that's a wine, helpeth them bruised with grievous beatings or falls. The root is with good success mixed in counterpoisons in our age, it was used as a medicine for the lungs especially the lungs and chest are pressed with raw and cold humors, congestion essentially. The root of this is very pleasant to the taste and is

Starting point is 00:12:01 comfortable to the stomach and heart so that the Turks at Constantinople take it fasting in the morning against the contagion of corrupt air. That's the plague essentially. And the Tartars have it in much esteem that they will not drink water, which is their usual drink, unless they first steep some of this root therein. We get up to a little more modern use. Miss Grieve writing in 1930s England referred to it as sweet sedge. And you know, it may be in the sedge family actually. You know, when you're identifying plants, you learn the term sedges have edges. That's how you differentiate sedges from grasses. Most people do not bother to differentiate grasses from sedges, but there are a lot of

Starting point is 00:12:48 edible sedges, so when you're learning to forage, it's one of the things you look for. She said, formally on account of its pleasant odor, it was freely strewn in the floors of churches and at festivals and in private houses. And she said the name Calamus is derived from the Greek calamos meaning reed. She said even this is 1930s England she said the floors of Norwich Cathedral were until quite recently always strewn with Calamus at great festivals. Let's see if we get some additional uses from her. Yeah, well she also mentions that, just aside, she verifies what Sophie Hodrick Snab said, that it was

Starting point is 00:13:36 introduced to Poland by the Tartars in 1588. So it's odd that they, I mean, grow so abundantly they wouldn't have been using it before then because so much of Polish herbalism comes from the Roman tradition. She mentions a couple more times in the Bible it was written about. It's one of the few herbs that appears in the Bible and she talks at this point she said it was being cultivated in Hungary, Burma, and was Ceylon, C-E-Y-L-O-N, and was especially popular in Russia. So apparently it's always been very popular in that area, but it was growing in the banks of the Thames in England. And Norfolk, apparently the plant absolutely

Starting point is 00:14:21 flourished and the villagers called it gladden because it would gladden the heart. So, we'll get into that in just a moment, by the way. Medicinal actions and uses. Calamus was formerly much esteemed as an aromatic stimulant and mild tonic. A fluid extract is an official preparation in the United States and some other pharmacopias. Unfortunately it's not anymore, but it was in the 1930s. But it's no longer official with the British pharmacopias, though it is much used in herbal medicine as an aromatic bitter. In this case, the myotonic means that at bitter quality helps stimulate appetites, good for the stomach, helps settle the stomach. Many, it's a really good herb for the stomach.

Starting point is 00:15:04 She said, a volatile oil which is present acts as a carminative, removing the discomfort caused by flatulence and checking the growth of bacteria which give rise to it. So that's another reason it helps with food poisoning. It is used to increase the appetite, benefit digestion, give it as a fluid extract, infusion or tincture. And she gets into how many drops of this and how many drops of that to use. We're not going to worry about that right now. But she said, interestingly in Norfolk, it was used as a powder. It was made into a powder, I should say, ground into a powder and

Starting point is 00:15:42 used as a remedy against fever. And she said it has been attended with great success where Peruvian bark or quinine has failed and is also beneficial as a mild stimulant in typhoid cases. It was being marketed as Stockton bitters combined with Genshin as a bitters at that time. She said, and let's see in Waller's British herbal says, it is of great service in all nervous complaints, vertigo, headaches and hypochondriacal affections. Now at this time it's hard to know what they mean by

Starting point is 00:16:17 hypochondria because originally that was a tightness in the chest caused by an inflammation around the lining of the lungs and bronchia. Short-leg pleurisy, little different. But that tightness in the chest would also often cause one to complain a lot, of course, and to faint, to feel very weak and faint because they were short of breath. Later that came to be associated basically with PMS.

Starting point is 00:16:46 And I'm not exactly sure when that changed or it would be associated with someone who just complained a lot about health conditions and you couldn't really put your finger on what the cause was. I'm not sure if in 1930s which term this one is actually referring to or which condition this is actually referring to. So it's agreeable to the stomach, even to persons in health, to take a glass about an hour before dinner. That's the infusion of the calumus root in wine. It is convenient to

Starting point is 00:17:25 just pepsi patients who may carry it in a small box in the pocket and take as a fine occasion. That's really more how I use it. I keep a little tin or a little ziplock, you know, really small zip top bag with just, you know, maybe a tablespoon full of Calamus Well, I take it with me when I go camping or Travel I keep you know put it in the end of my my overnight bag or anything like that or just keep some around The house because you never know when you're gonna need it oh, and she mentions that in Europe it was often made into a candy and

Starting point is 00:18:05 Apparently that originally came from Turkey and it was thought to help prevent contagions from catching colds and such that also settle the stomach and such and she's mentioned said in Oriental medicine but guess we're talking the Chinese tradition could be more Near East at this time used for dys dyspepsia, bronchitis, either chewed, the root chewed, or made into a cough lozenge. And from the earliest times, it's been one of the most popular remedies of the native practitioners in India. I think we can skip ahead a little bit.

Starting point is 00:18:40 She mentions that calamus, because of its spicy flavor serves as substitute for cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. Now I don't find nutmeg to be very spicy but I can definitely see how it could substitute for cinnamon or ginger. And interestingly it was included in snuffs at the time. She says the highly aromatic volatile oil is used largely in perfumery so even in the 19... 1930s they were still using it a lot in the perfume industry and there was a popular chewing gum made from it in Holland that was especially good for children's complaints so very very interesting it's things that were once so common just have fallen so out of

Starting point is 00:19:27 use. Now getting to the one really interesting entry, just real quick I'll hit this one. Culpepper writing in England in the 1600s. He liked the spicy bitterness of the plant and the leaves actually and thought they were really good cooked with fish made into a sauce to go with fish. I have not tried that but I definitely will next time I'm fishing and I see sweet flag growing see if I can make a sauce from the leaves and see how that tastes. I have not really even tried the leaves before but now going to the North American tradition, Native American use, Tismall Crowe, he's a Muskogee medicine man healer, however you want, I think he goes by the term medicine man so I don't

Starting point is 00:20:15 mean that you know to be offensive or anything. Anyway, he said that it was good for the throat, voice problems, laryngitis, toothaches, and it's true, you put that root against a sore tooth, swollen gum, and just like clove oil, it'll numb it out. It's got that volatile oil in it. Combined with other herbs to make their effects act more quickly. The Cherokees used Calamans either chewed or in teas for colds, headaches, and throat. And the Lumbee Indians here in Eastern North Carolina use Calamus as a stimulant and stomatic for colic, worms, yellowish urine, dropsy. As a diaphoretic, it means it helps

Starting point is 00:20:58 break a fever for colds, headaches, stomach ache, upset stomach, sore throat, combined with other herbs for a heart remedy. They don't give details on that. Used for infection and heartburn. Herbal remedies of the Lumbee Indians states that the Obnaki, A-B-N-A-K-I tribe I'm not familiar with, used calamus for stomach discomfort and the Algonquin tribes would use the plant for a cold remedy. A really interesting book called The Drunken Botanist is written by a botanist who is also a mixologist.

Starting point is 00:21:34 She's really into alcoholic beverages and their herbal roots. And she says that the rhizome has a complex spicy bitter flavor that lends itself to amauros like Campari and herbal liqueurs like chartreuse as well as to gin and vermouth. The flavor has been described as woodsy, leathery, and also creamy, but some varieties of this plant contain a potentially carcinogenic compound called alpha-asaro and for this reason the FDA has banned it as a food additive. However, not all sweet flag is equally dangerous.

Starting point is 00:22:07 The American variety called American Calamus, Acorus Calamus Americanus, does not have any significant quality of the potential toxin and European strains have relatively low levels. The European Union acknowledges the plant is widely used in bitters, vermouths, and liquors. According to a book called DIY Bitters by Guido Masi and Jovial King. This cosmopolitan reed has two major varietals. One grows in India and was naturalized into Asia and Europe. Again, I'm not sure if that's quite right given the Egyptian history, but they could have just been growing in the same place in similar conditions. I don't know. The other is native to North American. The North American species is deemed

Starting point is 00:23:02 safer. Both have a long history of use and are favored for their unique spicy pungency. In the old world, Calamus was used in incense blends from Egypt to Solomon's temple. In the New World, pieces of the rhizome were chewed to relieve fatigue and delight in the spirit. Mmm, need to talk about that just a little bit more, and I should go ahead and do it. We mentioned how a folk name for it was Gladden because it lifted the spirits. They just said relief, fatigue, and lighten the spirit. Calamus was chewed especially by Roman troops on long marches and such. Calamus has a really unique effect to kind of clear and focus the mind. It's really good if you're studying or taking tests or doing something like that.

Starting point is 00:23:50 It also seems to help if you're doing monotonous chores to kind of pass quicker without being so, I don't know, burdensome or tiring. Makes you less tired on long hikes and marches and such as that, widely used by the Roman army for that point, that purpose. But I have to specify that it's dried Calamus root. The fresh root, eaten in a fairly significant quality, much more, I mean it's quite peppery,

Starting point is 00:24:23 it's more than you would really want to use unless you were using it for this purpose will cause hallucinations but they're not like the hippie trippy kind of you know hallucinations you may be thinking about the few people I've read accounts of or spoken with that have tried to have done this purposefully ate the fresh root I know one of them it was actually by mistake he didn't get the difference between the fresh and dry and he thought i'm on a long hike and i'm gonna eat this fresh root that he just pulled out of a lake creek bed whatever

Starting point is 00:24:51 and it's gonna help me get through this long hike uh... pretty soon he thought demons were chasing him you probably don't want to do that i'm just gonna say okay oh i don't know i think we've actually covered just about everything except specific uses, appetite loss, nervous disorders, bronchitis, chest pains, colic cramps, diarrhea, flatulence gas, indigestion, rheumatism, yeah it can actually help with arthritis a little bit, sedative, cough, fever, bronchitis, inflammation, depression. It has some anti-tumor properties.

Starting point is 00:25:25 So, I mean, you kind of weigh that against that supposed carcinogenic, good for hemorrhoids even, as a soak, a bath, skin diseases, numbness, general debility, and vascular disorders. Various therapeutic potentials of this plant have been attributed to the rhizome, and they get into a lot of chemistry. They mentioned that it has a

Starting point is 00:25:46 sedative, CNS, depressant, antichemulcin, antispasmodic, cardiovascular, hypolipidemic, immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, wow, anti-diarrheal, antimicrobial, anti-cancer even, anti-diabetic qualities. Very interesting. And so far, as long as we are using the dried root, as I say, it's pretty safe. I mean, Maria Trevin really liked it for chillblains and other forms of frostbite.

Starting point is 00:26:21 Added to warm baths, the roots steeped overnight in water and then added to the bath. You could steep them in cold water and then add them to a hot bath. She treated a man with a tumor on his liver and he also had some tuberculosis issues and apparently a calomus tea really, really helped him. The tumor was removed but he was not getting better and was running high fevers due to the tuberculosis. Interestingly, she said, on a mountain hike, I met a couple who, laden with heavy backpacks, were walking uphill.

Starting point is 00:27:00 They wanted to spend a few relaxing days. I joined them. And the one, he was a doctor. And he said he had a patient who had cancer of the lungs and actually use calamus, this is another folk use, to not only help with that, but chewing the calamus root took away the taste for cigarettes. So he said he couldn't believe that the roots at that point, this is 1980s, 70s I guess,

Starting point is 00:27:34 Austria, sold for pennies in a shop and it turned out to be one of the very, very best cures for his patients, or helps to it, I guess you would say. Another that had lost a lot of weight, used it as an appetite stimulant. She goes on and on about anecdotal cases of healing people with calumas, especially for stomach and intestinal orders, liver problems, lung problems. Wow, she says whether it's too much or too little acid

Starting point is 00:28:12 in the stomach, Calamus roots evens it out. Said a woman from the west part of Austria suffered from stomach pains for two years and could not be without pills. Following my advice, she took six sips of Calamus root tea a day and after five days the pain was gone and has not reoccurred. Another one that couldn't eat solid foods and had no appetite. Again just a few sips of Calamus tea. Was back eating hearty meals as she said. She said an elderly priest suffering

Starting point is 00:28:43 from diarrhea for years had resigned himself from the situation Following my advice he began to take six sips of calamus root tea in a short time. He was back to normal A small boy who just tried a strict diet suffered from diarrhea got well after taking six sips of calamus root tea His appetite returned he gained a few pounds She talks about a lot a lot lot. So let me get to, let's see, Modern Used Plants for the Future says, sweet flag or Calamus has a very long history of medicinal use in many herbal traditions. It is widely employed in modern herbal medicine as an aromatic stimulant and mild tonic. In Ayurveda, that's Indian herbal medicine,

Starting point is 00:29:23 it is highly valued as a rejuvenator for the brain and nervous system and as a remedy for digestive disorders. However some care should be taken since its use in some forms, since its use, let me say again, since the use of some forms of the plant may be carcinogenic. The root is anodyne antispasmodic aphrodisiac, believe it or not. I'm not sure how that factors in. Aromatic, carminative, diaphoretic, aminogonic, specterant, febri-fuge, hallucinogenic. I told you how that could work. Hypotensive, sedative, stimulant, stomatic, mildly tonic, and vermifuge, which means it can help get rid of the intestinal parasites, in addition to everything else it use.

Starting point is 00:30:05 It is used internally in treatment of digestive complaints, bronchitis, sinusitis, et cetera. It is said to have wonderful tonic powers of stimulating and normalizing the appetite. In small doses, it reduces stomach acidity, while in larger doses, it increases stomach secretions, recommended in the treatment of anorexia. However, if the dose is too large it will cause nausea and vomiting. Sweet flag is also used externally to treat skin eruptions, rheumatic pains, and neuralgia. And caution,

Starting point is 00:30:43 don't use it while pregnant. Chewing the root is said to kill the taste for tobacco, I already mentioned that, folk remedy for arthritis, cancer, convulsions, diarrhea, dyspepsia, and even epilepsy. And it does have an effect on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. So I'm not sure exactly how it's used in that case, but yeah, it probably could be useful potentially. Wow. Yeah, they warn you not to use the fresh root. It is toxic and hallucinogenic. So what's the verdict? Well, you know, Calamus is a tried and true medicinal bitter herb. I think it can be quite helpful if used properly.

Starting point is 00:31:27 Potentially dangerous if misused. I have used Calamus for many years, even when I was a teenager, long hikes, studying, taking tests, it's really one of my favorite herbs. I am never without it, actually. I keep it on hand all the time. So, yeah. Like I would say, I've used it since I was at least 17 and never without it actually i keep it on hand all the time uh... like i i i would say i've used it since i was at least seventeen and i'm

Starting point is 00:31:50 not dead yet but who knows you do your own research make your own choices and uh... this is an easy one to find and it's just cautious got so many helpful beneficial uses a little bit taken uh... a little of the dried root is what I use. I don't use the fresh root. I don't use big amounts of it.

Starting point is 00:32:10 I don't take it long term, just when needed. A pinch of the dried root, maybe chew it up. You're gonna salivate a lot. Once you get it swallowed, it's really tough, so it takes a lot of chewing. Ten minutes after that, usually stomach cramping stops. Maybe two pinches is necessary sometimes. That's about it, really. So it's one I like, but y'all have to decide for yourself. All right, y'all. Have a good one and I will talk to you next time.
