Used as a base note in blends for digestive malabsorption, gas and irritable bowel, it also makes a fabulous blend with other food-y oils such as neem, coriander or ginger.

Mmm… Cardamom and Rose together in a perfume with other EOs with aphrodisiacal properties. The spicy fragrance compliments the other scents beautifully and adds a sensual and earthy element to the blend. Cardamom EO will definitely become a permanent ingredient of my perfume. P.S. It works like magic in attracting the opposite sex. Be careful ladies!

This essential oil is very common in perfumery, used by chanel paris' retired perfumer, Mr.Beaux, in the classic scent 'chanel' pour monsieur. The scent is slightly reminiscent of apples. Very strong, good quality. The scent is not as sweet and amazing as some find to my nose. The quality is superb, and the price is fair. If you like cardamom, this is for you.

I love the spicy warming scent of cardamom, you are probably familiar with the seeds as they may be found in any supermarket spice rack. It is non-toxic and non-irritant but with possible sensitization in some individuals. Use for anorexia, colic, cramp, dyspepsia, flatulence, griping pains, halitosis, heartburn, indigestion, mental fatigue, morning sickness, nervous strain, vomiting. Also known as Cardamomi, Cardomom, Cardomum, Ellettaria cardamomum variety cardamomum, Mysore Cardomom. I love to use it for massage blends as it is a wonderful warming oil. This one is high quality and recommended for any aromatherapist.
