Cardamom has a long history as a culinary and medicinal herb, excellent for promoting digestion, improving circulation, and countering the symptoms of diabetes.

Its distinct scent is famous the world over, being used in perfumes, sacred oils, and foods to open the mind, calm anxiety, and lift lethargy. It is commonly used as an essential oil to flavor foods, warm and cleanse a room through its scent, and as a massage oil to penetrate and soothe sore muscles, congested lungs, and support a weak digestive system.

Cardamom can be enjoyed as a spice, an essential oil, a scent, and as an ancient healing agent that supports health and well-being.
