Thread: Calamus Root

Calamus root is an herb used in India. It is mixed with marijuana or hash for a grounding effect while also supporting the high. My herbalist wife tells me that it also helps the body tissues deal with the smoke. But the method I want to talk about is taking it internally. A shaman has told me that in order to befriend the plant to use it as an ally in for lucid dreaming we should chew a handful of it and swallow the juice/saliva. I tried it and boy did it taste horrible! It is extremely peppery. I also tried it in a tea and I make a blend of calamus root, turmeric, ginger, honey, water and milk. It tastes alright, like an earthy chai. I definately noticed a slight euphoric feeling and my dreams were much more vivid and long and I flew a lot. I have incorporated it into my lucid dream regimen.
