Why We Love

Cardamom

Cardamom, historically known as the “Queen of all Spices,” has been cherished in India since ancient times. This sweet and pungent spice, with its exotic aroma, is widely used throughout India and the Middle East. It not only adds a delightful flavor but also provides a warming sensation, contributing to its unique blend of sweetness and pungency. In Ayurveda, cardamom is considered tridoshic, making it beneficial for balancing all three doshas. However, individuals seeking to maintain a balanced PITTA dosha should consume it in moderation.
Beyond its culinary uses, cardamom is renowned for its digestive benefits, particularly in reducing bloating and intestinal gas. Its effectiveness in balancing the KAPHA dosha, specifically in the stomach and lungs, is noteworthy. Additionally, it is valued for its ability to pacify the VATA dosha. Cardamom seeds are often chewed to freshen the breath.
Moreover, cardamom boasts various medicinal properties. It possesses antibacterial qualities and is known for its potential to lower blood pressure. The spice also exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antispasmodic effects. Interestingly, it has even been used to help ease cigarette addiction. Furthermore, cardamom demonstrates sedative and anticonvulsant activities.
