Gudbach, also known as Gurbach, comes from the dried root of the Acorus calamus plant, a wetland herb native to South and Southeast Asia. The plant features long, sword-like leaves and a knotted rhizome that is aromatic and traditionally dried for use in regional blends.For generations, Gudbach has held cultural significance in traditional incense, herbal mixtures, and ceremonial preparations. The root naturally contains aromatic oils and compounds such as asarone, which give it a distinctive scent and flavor. Its deep earthy aroma and long-standing use in folk customs make it a valued part of traditional practices.
