🌿 Traditional medicinal usage

Cardamom seeds have been used for centuries across multiple traditional medicine systems, especially for digestion and internal balance:

• Ayurveda: valued as a Tridoshic spice that supports all body types, traditionally used to kindle digestive fire (Agni), ease occasional nausea, freshen the breath, and soothe post-meal heaviness. Often included in warm milk infusions, herbal decoctions, and digestive spice blends.

• Traditional Chinese herbal practices: used to support spleen and stomach harmony, move internal dampness, and complement tonic formulas aimed at digestive comfort and energy flow.

• Middle Eastern & North African folk herbalism: commonly used in digestive brews and spice tonics to support stomach ease, appetite balance, circulation, and internal warmth.

• Historical apothecaries worldwide: added to herbal bitters, elixirs, chai-style blends, and medicinal spice jars for its ability to support digestion, clarity, circulation, and seasonal resilience.

Traditionally, cardamom was prized not only for its aroma but for its role as a functional digestive companion spice, often used to enhance both benefit and flavor in multi-herb preparations.
