First of all, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday! I have been working with Cardamom for a while now and it is one of my favorites! I love the spicy smell that brings me back to Christmas, I love the power it has over my senses, the fuel it gives to my brain, and the heightened awareness I get after I indulge in anything that contains it's seed or pod. Did you know that consuming Cardamom on a regular basis can strengthen your intuitive skills?
Not only is it warming to the body and can help improve circulation, it also assists the brain in staying focused. It has been used to balance blood sugar and can be a proponent in managing diabetes. The respiratory system welcomes this herb as it can be used to ease bronchitis symptoms. It's also a bitter herb so it's not only great for the digestive system, but it adds amazing flavor to bitter formulas. There isn't a lot women should take while pregnant, but if the doctor approves, Cardamom can be drank to help soothe gastro intestinal issues.
Inside the pod are many seeds and these are what I use in my tea formulas. You don't need a lot because they pack a punch, but when they are added, they can make a dull tasting blend incredibly impactful. So I would like to give a shout out to Cardamom, a small little seed that can do so very much for our bodies. Thank you Cardamom, for your intensity, your passion to make our bodies shine and for your memorable aroma and flavor!
I hope you all have a very Happy New Year!
