Cardamom is well known as a digestive stimulant that improves the appetite and promotes circulation to the digestive system, helping to relieve nausea, vomiting, indigestion and colic. It is also thought to ease irritable bowel syndrome.

One of the oldest uses for Cardamom is for the relief of flatulence and the “griping” (grumbling and pain in the intestines and bowels) associated with gas.

Cardamom has been used to treat Celiac disease, the chronic diarrheal condition marked by intestinal malabsorption of virtually all nutrients and precipitated by eating gluten-containing foods (generally involving breads and cereals). The disease mostly affects young children and 60- and 65-year-olds, and Cardamom appears to help the body tolerate the gluten with no ill effects.

Cardamom is a warm, aromatic herb that has stimulating, tonic effects, especially on the lungs and is thought to improve circulation to the lungs. Cardamom is considered a fine expectorant and has long been used to relieve pulmonary disease that produces copious phlegm. Cardamom also seems to counteract the effects of mucus-forming foods, such as dairy products.

An age-old use for Cardamom has been as an aphrodisiac, and its benefits were even extolled in Arabian Nights. People in the Middle East still believe that this use is valid.

Cardamom reputedly detoxifies caffeine from the system.

Cardamom is said to be a tonic for the kidneys. It is also said to normalize the elimination of stool and urine and is used in Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine to control urinary incontinence in both men and women.

The essential oil in Cardamom is considered antibacterial and antifungal, and Ayurvedic physicians use it to treat ulcers and malaria. It is also thought to increase the efficacy of the antibiotic, streptomycin, when used to treat tuberculosis.

Cardamom is thought to relax spasms and relieve headaches. There is some evidence that it also improves mental clarity.

Cardamom has been used for centuries as a breath freshener.
Small cardamom is mainly used as mouth freshener. Both large and small cardamoms are used in the preparation of vegetables to increase its flavour.
