BACKGROUND

Native to India and Indonesia and a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), cardamom is an aromatic spice that features heavily in Southeast Asian and Scandinavian cooking. Cardamom gives a distinctively sweet, fresh aroma and depth of flavor to various sweet and savory dishes.

Named the ‘Grains of Paradise’ in the Middle Ages, this spice has been used by healers for millenia. Cardamom was one of the most prized spices in ancient Greece and Rome and is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, the Ebers Papyrus, which dates back to the 16th century BC.

Young Living’s Cardamom and Cardamom Vitality Essential Oils are steam distilled from the seeds of the plant to yield an incredibly high quality essential oil – the best on the market! Cardamom is also a key ingredient in the Cardiogize supplement, a wonderful support tool for heart health!

KEY CONSTITUENTS *

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

• Alpha-terpinyl acetate
• Eucalyptol
• Cardamom is a powerhouse of strong antioxidants that neutralize free radicals—a toxic by-product of metabolism that reacts with cells and proteins, causing DNA damage and accelerating the aging process. A diet high in antioxidants is well-known to improve immune response and reduce the risk of chronic health conditions. The phytochemicals present in cardamom seeds may help improve cognition, elevate mood, and protect brain cells from oxidative damage. And this has far-reaching implications – talk about a health powerhouse!

CARDAMOM & EMOTIONS

Cardamom can be a wonderful tool when it comes to managing emotions and dealing with anxious thoughts. It has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a tool for dealing with stress, both physical and emotional. Newer research has also linked low levels of antioxidants with increased anxiety, so adding antioxidants to your daily routine may help with this (and also just be a wonderful way to support health and longevity!).
