Calamus in Sanskrit is Vacha, which literally means "speaking", the power of the word, of intelligence or self-expression that this herb stimulates. Calamus has an affinity for the throat chakra and helps to sustain the voice and encourages us to speak and sing our truth. Chew on a piece as you sing or speak your heart's song
