Country of origin: India

Cardamom Essential Oil is obtained by gentle distillation of the seeds of the Elettaria cardamomum plant. It has been valued for millennia for its wide-ranging effects on both the body and psyche.
It supports digestion, traditionally used to alleviate colic, flatulence, heartburn, and to stimulate appetite. In colder parts of the year, it becomes your indispensable helper, soothing airways, relieving congested lungs, and promoting expectoration.

On a psychological level, it acts as a powerful revitalizer. Its warm fragrance harmonizes emotions, dispels anxiety, nervous tension, and stress. If you feel exhausted, lacking energy, or unable to concentrate, cardamom will “boost” you back into action and enhance your mental performance. It is also a known aphrodisiac that helps with decreased sexual desire and adds a spark to intimate relationships.

Interesting facts

Cardamom is a perennial herb from the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) that grows up to six meters tall and originates from southern India. Its history is fascinating. It is repeatedly mentioned in ancient Chinese medical writings and in Ayurveda. Ancient Egyptians added it to incense during religious rituals, and the ancient Roman scholar Pliny described it in mixtures with pepper and nutmeg. Today, cardamom is an indispensable part of Indian cuisine (curries) and, surprisingly, traditional Scandinavian pastries.
