Both masculine and feminine colognes and perfumes are energized by Cardamom essential oil's spicy and enchanting aroma. It is soothing, yet also very gently uplifting. Some aromatherapists recommend diffusing Cardamom essential oil to invigorate the home and workplace. It may support greater efficiency with its enlivening notes while it relieves nervous strains and improves moods.
A perennial, reed-like herb that grows up to 12 feet in height, Cardamom bears long sheathing stems that bloom yellow flowers with purple tips. Our pure essential oil is extracted from Cardamom seeds through hydro-diffusion.
The aroma of Cardamom essential oil is warm and spicy with middle notes that are lightly sweet and bordering on floral. A member of the ginger family, this well-known culinary herb is universally valued and used extensively around the globe as a lovely and lively flavoring agent. It is added to a varietal seed mixture offered in many Indian restaurants as an after-dinner treat to encourage a happy tummy. Cardamom has been mentioned as a useful herb from the time of Hippocrates to the current day British Herbal Pharmacopoeia.
The distinctive aroma of Cardamom essential oil adds a touch of magic, mystique and enchantment.
