What is Gudbach Jadd (Acorus Calamus):
Acorus calamus, also known as Indian rhubarb, is a plant native to Asia. It has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties, but it's best known for its use as an antidiarrheal. The root of the plant is used medicinally and the leaves are used in cooking.

According to a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, acorus calamus contains a compound called beta-asarone that may be toxic to humans. This compound can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. According to the study, this compound is found in the triploid form (found in Asia) while the diploid form (found in North America and Siberia) is free of the compound.

However, another study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology showed that beta-asarone was present in both diploid and triploid forms of acorus calamus. In addition, it was found that beta-asarone could potentially cause cancerous cells to grow faster than normal cells during cell culture studies with rats

Uses:
Acorus calamus is a plant that is used by herbalists in traditional medicine. It has been used to treat a wide range of disorders including pulmonary diseases and other conditions. The following properties have been described for acorus calamus: stomachic, wound healing (poultice), choleretic, antidiabetic, diuretic, antidepressant and antispasmodic.

Acorus calamus (sweet flag), is used traditionally as a stimulant (Lavrenov and Lavrenova, 1999) and more recently it has been shown to have anticarcinogenic activity (Mehrotra et al., 2003). Increasing UV-B exposure in field-grown plants not only increased the total essential oil and phenolics content but also decreased the amount of the possibly toxic beta-asarone (Kumari et al., 2009). These findings are to be expected as phenolics are known UV protectants (Rozema et al., 2002). Increased UV-B exposure also increased the glycyrrhizin content in liquor used to treat asthma Ulcers Gas Upset stomach Appetite stimulation Arthritis Strokes Skin disorders.
