Cardamon oil is extracted from Elettaria cardamon(Also known as Elettaria cardomomum var. cardomon) of the Zingiberaceae family and is also known as cardamomi, cardomum and Mysore cardamom. Cardamom is one of the oldest spices in the world and was used extensively in ancient Egypt to make perfumes. Its medicinal uses, however, are less well known. Cardamom has been employed in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years and is an excellent remedy for many digestive problems, helping to soothe indigestion and gas. Cardamom has an aromatic, pungent taste and combines well with other herbs.
