Cardamom Pods Loose - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Crown as the "Queen of Spices," Green Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is native to the lush, rain-drenched Western Ghats mountains of Southern India. Revered for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine (where it is known as Ela), Cardamom was historically traded along ancient maritime spice routes to Egypt, Greece, and Rome for its rich aromatic oils and exquisite taste. Traditional healers prize the green pods for their ability to kindle digestive fire (Agni), clear sluggish mucus, and harmonize heavy or rich foods, making it an indispensable digestive spice and aromatic tea botanical.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Aromatic, sweet, pungent, spicy, camphoraceous
• Energetics: Warming, drying, circulating, clarifying

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

• Digestive Ease & Bloating: Soothing abdominal wind, cramping, nausea, and digestive sluggishness after heavy meals.
• Mucus & Respiratory Clarity: Inhaling or sipping warm infusions helps clear stagnant respiratory phlegm and supports clear breath.
• Metabolic Harmony: Stimulating gastric secretions and supporting healthy carbohydrate and nutrient absorption.
• Fresh Breath & Oral Hygiene: Traditionally chewed after dining to freshen breath, soothe oral tissues, and balance mouth flora.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Decoction & Chai Base: Lightly crush 3–5 whole pods to crack open the green outer hulls and expose the fragrant dark seeds. Add to 1.5 cups of boiling water or milk, simmer gently for 10–12 minutes, and strain.
