Cardamom - 10ml

Cardamom is a warm, spicy-sweet oil distilled from the seeds of the Elettaria cardamomum plant, native to India and Sri Lanka. Highly valued in both culinary and traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, cardamom is known for its digestive, warming, and emotionally uplifting qualities. Its smooth, exotic aroma is both invigorating and soothing, making it a favorite in aromatherapy and natural perfumery.

This oil is especially revered for its ability to ease digestive complaints such as bloating, gas, nausea, and indigestion. It also supports respiratory health by helping to open the airways, reduce mucus, and ease coughs. Emotionally, Cardamom Essential Oil promotes mental clarity, reduces fatigue, and helps calm nervous tension or stress-related symptoms. Its gently stimulating nature makes it excellent for those feeling sluggish or mentally foggy.

In perfumery, cardamom adds a soft, spicy warmth that harmonizes beautifully with citrus, florals, and woods. It is also an effective oil for sensual blends, thanks to its aphrodisiac qualities and warm depth.
