Is calamus poisonous?

1. Is it toxic?

In fact, it is poisonous. This plant is not only poisonous, but the entire plant is poisonous, especially its rhizome, which is the most toxic part. If consumed in excess, it can cause hallucinations. The intensity of the hallucinations is related to the amount consumed. At this moment, the editor was thinking: Fortunately, I didn’t eat wild grass when I went to the river to play in the water when I was a child, otherwise I would have imagined myself as a fish and jumped into the river and swam away.

2. Medicinal value

Although it contains certain toxicity and excessive consumption will cause side effects, if used properly, it can also treat many common diseases. For example: it can strengthen the stomach and has antibacterial effects. Not only that, it can also enhance memory and even fight cancer. It also has a certain therapeutic effect on some skin diseases. But here I still want to advise my friends: if you want to use it, you must have the guidance of a professional. Otherwise it would be bad if hallucinations occurred.

3. Ornamental value

It is suitable for greening many large water bodies. Its leaves are emerald green and the plant is upright and elegant, making it deeply loved by people. Whether it is a water feature at home or a waterside, it is suitable for planting. Nowadays, many people like indoor hydroponic plants, so it is also a very good choice. In addition to its high ornamental effect, its maintenance method is also very simple. If properly maintained, it can remain without withering for 10 years.
