Cardamom Powder

An Aromatic Tridoshic Spice

Glorified by Indian, Scandinavian, and Middle Eastern cooks, cardamom has a sweet, warm taste and an exotic floral aroma.

Used often in cooking and especially in deserts and drinks like chai, herbal teas and turmeric lattes. 

Cardamom is another multi-talented herb. It has the ability to showcase its elegance in the kitchen, dancing on your tastebuds, adapting to both sweet and savory dishes. In the medicine cabinet, it is subtle and safe. Call on cardamom for digestive complaints. For the vata dosha, it has the ability to harmonize the flow of the 5 vayus (airs) of vata in the body. By stimulating samana vayu, the agni (digestive fire) is kindled, and the gut becomes more permeable to the absorption of nutrients. Cardamom is also known to have the power to cast away accumulated kapha dosha from the stomach and lungs. Kapha, being composed of water and earth elements, likes to lodge itself in the form of mucus in these areas of the body, resulting in congestion. Cardamom helps to clear this accumulation providing a sense of clarity and lightness in the heart. Many in the East use cardamom to antidote the mucus forming qualities in milk and in coffee to antidote caffeine.
