The essential oil of cardamom is extracted by steam distillation from the seeds of the fruit gathered just before they are ripe. A close relative to ginger, cardamom is known as an expensive cooking spice and for being beneficial to the digestive system in a variety of ways. Its distinct scent can promote a positive mood.
Cardamom also has profound effects on the respiratory system due to its high 1, 8-cineole content, which promotes clear breathing and respiratory health.
Native to Southeast Asia, Cardamom is added to traditional Indian sweets and teas for its cool, minty aroma and flavor. It has very strong antiseptic and anti-microbial properties, which are safe too.
If used as a mouth wash by adding a few drops of this oil in water, it disinfects the oral cavity of the germs and drives away bad breath. It can also be used in foodstuff as a flavoring agent.
Cardamom Oil Properties: Cardamom essential oil has a warm, spicy, and sweet aroma with a hint of citrus. This makes it a popular choice in aromatherapy for its uplifting and soothing effects.
