Background: Due to the similarity in name and appearance before blooming, Blue Flag is often mistaken for Sweet Flag, or Calamus, which grows in the same localities.

Hepatic-Blue flag is thought to help in skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis by working through the liver and aiding in detoxification. It is also thought to aid in constipation associated with liver problems.
