Its botanical name is Cyperus rotondus, an herb from the papyrus family. It is a plant that is similar to the Nutcracker (Cyperus esculentus), they have the same root, one comes from West Africa (Mali, Senegal ...) and the other from Africa from the east

Gowé contains essential oils with medicinal properties such as reducing fever, inflammation, and pain. Tuber extracts can reduce nausea and act as a muscle relaxant. They are also used in pulmonary and urinary system problems.

In incense:

In Africa women use it as incense. They also consider the smoke it gives off to be an effective mosquito repellant.
