 Profile -
Cardamom is a
perennial, reed-like herb up to 4m high, with long, silk blade-shaped
leaves. Its long sheathing stems bear small yellowish flowers with
purple tips, followed by oblong red-brown seeds. Essential oil is by
steam distillation from the dried ripe fruit (seeds). An oleoresin is
also produced in small quantities. Native to tropical Asia, especially
southern India; cultivated extensively in India, Sri Lanka, Laos,
Guatemala and El Salvador. The essential oil is produced principally in
India, Europe, Sri Lanka and Guatemala.
 Uses -
Hippocrates
recommended Cardamom essential oil, for
sciatica, coughs, abdominal pains, spasm, nervous disorders, and
retention of urine and also bites of venomous creatures. It has been
used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine for over 3,000 years,
especially for pulmonary disease, fever, digestive and urinary
complaints. Current in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia as a specific
for flatulent dyspepsia. Employed in some carminative stomachic and
laxative preparations; also in the form compound cardamom spirit to
flavor pharmaceuticals. Extensively used as a fragrance component in
soaps, cosmetics and perfumes, especially oriental types. Indian
Cardamom essential oil has a warm, sweet, and spicy scent, while the
inferior oil is harsher, with a slight hint of eucalyptus. Best to blend
to accent other essential oils. Cardamom has a warmly romantic and
aphrodisiac aroma. Use in salve or massage oil to ease coughs, muscle
spasms, and help reduce swelling and irritation from inflammation.
Improves your concentration by reducing drowsiness and irritability.
