History
Originating in Southeast Asia, cardamom has an extensive history in the ancient practice of Ayurvedic medicine, however, the knowledge of its healthful benefits is fairly new to the Americas. It was introduced to Guatemala in 1914 by a German planter.
Oil Description
A renowned spice in its native country of India, cardamom has become the “go to” ingredient to help in treating numerous ailments: things ranging from digestive issues, asthma, and halitosis.
The cardamom plant derives from the ginger family, whose seeds have high mineral content and are harvested and distilled for their oils.
Cautions
Use with a carrier for sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor’s care. Do not put oils directly in your eyes (oils can drip into eyes – if this happens, flush with fractionated coconut oil, not water). Do not drip oils into the ear canal. Avoid sensitive areas.
