Orris Root is also known as – IRIS GERMANICA, IRIS PALLIDA, PURPLE FLAG, and BEARDED IRIS.



Orris roots are cleaned, dried and powdered. It is a brownish color and smells earthy with a hint of violet. It is used in natural toothpastes and as a fixative in perfumes to enhance other aromas. It lends a pleasant scent to freshly laundered linens and potpourri. Some people use it to sniff claiming it relieves sinus headaches. It is used as a stabilizer in cosmetics. The root is known to possess anti-inflammatory activity. It has been a traditional herb used as a remedy for sore throats and colds. Orris root is mildly diuretic; it was traditionally used to treat "dropsy" or congestive heart failure. Orris root that is stored in powdered form is more useful as a diuretic, while orris root that is stored in a chopped form is more useful as an anti-inflammatory. Orris root is usually taken as powder, infusion, or tincture, can be encapsulated. Relatively large daily doses, 12-15 grams (3-5 tablespoons) are typically required.
