Bitter Root
Acorus Calamus
This root is often chewed by singers to keep their voices strong. It is at times chewed for sore throats and toothaches. There are other ailments that the Native Americans and others have used bitter root for.
Bitterroot
is a small, low
plant
with a pink to white flower. It is the state flower of
Montana
.
The plant grows on gravelly to heavy, usually dry soil, in
scablands
or foothills areas. It is found on
sagebrush
plains to the lower mountains, in western and south central
Montana
. It ranges in the north from
British Columbia
to southern
California
, and on the east side of the
Cascade Range
to
Colorado
and
Arizona
.
The roots were consumed by local tribes such as the
Shoshone
and the
Flathead Indians
as an infrequent delicacy.
The
Lemhi Shoshone
believed the small red core found in the upper taproot had special powers, notably being able to stop a
bear
attack.

Since the dawn of times plants have been our sacred connection to our mother earth. Plants feed, cure, and shelter us; and legends abound of the power of chosen plants to heal and protect the wise. Native traditions relate that wherever sage and cedar are used, no evil influences may enter.
To “smudge” is to purify with smoke from certain sacred herbs. The sacred ritual of purifying with smoke comes from native peoples in both North and
South America
. In
North America
the smoke is created by burning sacred herbs such as sage, cedar, sweet grass and juniper. Smoke may be used to purify the body, spirit, pet, home, office and healing rooms, any space or item in your world
