Cardamom's spicy aroma clears
congestion and eases breath

Cardamom has been part of the Chinese and ayurvedic pharmacies for thousands of years. Long used in Asia as a culinary herb, it is primarily a tonic to the digestive system, kills the bacteria responsible for bad breath, and is well know for relief of nausea.

Cardamom has decongestant properties that make it useful in colds and congestion as well. Cardamom is perhaps the best source of a phytochemical called cineole, which helps break up chest congestion and gives the entire central nervous system a boost. Cardamom is found in many aphrodisiac formulas in Asia. The oil is a mild stimulant, warming with a lovely aroma.
