CALAMUS OIL, NEPAL

Latin Name:  Acorus calamus L., fam. Araceae

Part of Plant:  Root

Country of Origin:  Nepal

Method of Production: Steam distillation

Calamus, also known as Sweet Flag, is a water loving perennial that grows along ponds, rivers, and other wetlands. The plant is mentioned in the Bible as being added to olive oil along with myrrh, cinnamon, and cassia, to make a sacred anointing oil.  

 

Calamus essential oil is not suggested for use in aromatherapy.  The suggestion is for it to just be used in very small amounts either in a religious anointing oil, or in perfumery.  According to Tisserand and Young, there are three main types. There is a diploid form, a tetraploid or hexaploid form, and a triploid form.  Depending on the form used and its chemistry, different topical recommendations vary between .007% and 1.1%. Please check individual batch chemistry and guidelines carefully.

 

Safety: 

Not for aromatherapy use.

If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, please consult with a healthcare professional prior to use.  Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If swallowed, seek medical attention or contact a Poison Control Center.  Do not use undiluted essential oils topically. Possible skin sensitivity. Do not use on broken skin. Watch for any possible interactions or side effects. Discontinue use if any reaction including skin irritation occurs and if condition persists, seek medical attention.  Be sure you are familiar with all safety precautions including any recommended dermal maximums before use.

    Removes unwanted hair

    I saw a somewhat sketchy ad on facebook for a women’s mustache removal oil. I’ve been burned by this type of ad before so i searched ingredients and found Cypriol oil listed. I trust Desrosiers oils so I checked and they have it! I blended 20 drops in a 10ml roller bottle with jojoba oil as the carrier. Within in a week my black mustache was going away!!! GET THIS OIL! ❤️

    Simply BEAUTIFUL

    Long lasting and beautiful scent. Nothing really to compare it to out there but what a pleasant aroma. I was asked multiple times what I was diffusing in my office. Buy it!
