Description

Sweet Flag also called as Acorus Calamus (botanical  name), Vacha, Vasambu, Baje, Vekhand etc. Sweet Flag is a medical crop used widely in indigenous medicines. Sweet Flag is very popular in Ayurveda.

India is one of major exporter of Sweet Flag. Sweet Flag goes into Pharmaceutical industries, Perfumes, Sedatives, Ayurvedic product like toothpaste, soaps, skin care, wellness etc.

Sweet Flag goes into the making of medicines to treat Thyroid, Piles, Ulcers, Cold, Cough, Infertility, depression to name a few in the pharmaceutical industry. 

Patanjali is one of the leading Ayurvedic brand using Sweet Flag for most of its products. Other Herbal based companies like Dabar, Himalaya, Kama Ayurveda etc. are also using Sweet Flag.

Sweet Flag is used in households to treat cold, cough, very popular for infants to stimulate speech and digestive issues. It is used also as a spice(supliment to ginger), hair conditioner and for skin care.  Sweet Flag is also used to  treat animals for digestive disorders. 

 Sweet Flag prices vary from Rs.7,000-11,000 per quintal in Tumkur. I am making an effort to help farmers get a better price through Kissan Mandi since in APMCs there is no tender been called and Sweet Flag prices are much much higher in Tamil Nadu APMCs.
