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.

    I have been diffusing this in the office for over a month. Everyone who comes in comments on how good it smells & asks what it is!

    Now younger than her years!

    Remy, my 9 year old black mouth cur and favorite walking buddy, highly recommends Dr. P's Doggie Drops! Since starting those she has a spring in her step and a smile on her face!

    Review of mobile website

    The website is pretty, visually, and it appears to be easy to navigate. My suggestion though, because it's infuriating to me, is that when I go to check out a specific oil, and read reviews on it, when I go back to shopping, it takes me back to the very first page of the essential oils. It is aggravating when I am down into the site by four or five pages and I get thrown back to the very beginning again. Anyway for you to fix this?

    I didn’t order online, but I did visit Crystal in the shop! Wow! What a wonderful experience!

    These are some of the oils that I purchased today from her, and I am absolutely pleased with their quality!

    I will definitely be returning to expand my collection from this amazing business!
