 Aromatic Considerations
 Calamus has a warm, spicy scent with a hint of cinnamon. Diffused it may stimulate the mind and memory.
 
 Physical Aspects
 Calamus is used for a wide range of symptoms  pertaining to the head such as vertigo, headache, shock, memory loss,  and epilepsy because it increases cerebral circulation. Calamus is also  soothing and is an anti-inflammatory to the intestinal tract. It  increases appetite and absorption of nutrients. Calamus, applied to the  stomach and abdomen, arrests the growth of unfriendly bacteria in the  digestive system.
 
 General Information
 A fluid extract of calamus is an official  medicinal preparation still listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia  and is used in herbal medicine as an aromatic bitter.
 
 Cautions
 Calamus has been used for many years in herbal  preparations, but it is fairly new to the essential oil world. The  constituents it contains make calamus very effective as a disinfectant,  but it is too strong for use on children except in the most dire  circumstances. Calamus should also be avoided by pregnant women. Always  use straight calamus with caution and common sense.
