Vasambu / Calamus Root

Description

Vasambu (Acorus calamus), known as Sweet Flag or Calamus Root, is one of South India’s most revered traditional medicinal herbs — particularly valued in Tamil Nadu for infant care and digestive health. Village Masala sources whole, dried vasambu roots from trusted traditional herb growers, ensuring purity and potency without additives or fillers.

In traditional South Indian practice, vasambu is lightly roasted and ground into a fine paste, then applied on an infant’s forehead and chest to relieve colic, gas, and congestion. For adults, a pinch of vasambu powder stirred into warm water or honey is used as a digestive tonic and to ease respiratory discomfort. It has been used in Siddha and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for these properties.

For external and traditional use only. Keep away from direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry place. A trusted ancestral remedy now accessible to the Indian diaspora worldwide through Village Masala.
