Cardamom is one of the most esteemed essential oils in Ayurvedic medicines. Renaissance herbalists considered it “chief of all seeds”.
The energy of cardamom has the power to cut through the confusion of a busy mind, creating more clarity and helping to lift heavy, depressed feelings.
Cardamom encourages living in the present and ‘here-and-now’, as well as helping to open the third eye to awaken out inner realms of deeper insight.
