Open a jar of cardamom you'd use to cook with, take a whiff, and that's EXACTLY what this smells like, it's wonderful!

Used as a base note in blends for digestive malabsorption, gas and irritable bowel, it also makes a fabulous blend with other food-y oils such as neem, coriander or ginger.

I love this cardamom. It is warm, spicy, and sexy. I make a spiced milk & honey soap with it, combined with cinnamon and clove, and it is exotic and Goddess-y. My belly dancing customers love it!

Mmm… Cardamom and Rose together in a perfume with other EOs with aphrodisiacal properties. The spicy fragrance compliments the other scents beautifully and adds a sensual and earthy element to the blend. Cardamom EO will definitely become a permanent ingredient of my perfume. P.S. It works like magic in attracting the opposite sex. Be careful ladies!

I havent figured out how / what to use this oil yet. The price allows me to have a small amount for remedies. Fine balanced scent, not overpowering at all.

This Cardamom has a terrific scent but is also very useful. Mixed with Fennel and massaged on the belly it can relieve symptoms of food poisoning

Fantastic quality...I've been using it for colic and reflux. Amazing results. This is a grade A EO.

Excellent quality! Full-bodied and true, this oil does not have the sharp, bitter note that some cardamom essential oils have. Great in Chai spice blends.

What a beautiful EO! Blends very well with orange and ginger to give a super lift to your day. All of NDA's products that I have purchased have been of exceptional quality.

A MUST have for aromatherapy but also used in perfuming. This is a fresh and eye opening spicy warm aroma. Tickles the nose some and awakens the senses. A GREAT quality oil from NDA!

Very comforting oil. Works beautifully mixed with Orange and Vetiver on upset stomach.

This essential oil is very common in perfumery, used by chanel paris' retired perfumer, Mr.Beaux, in the classic scent 'chanel' pour monsieur. The scent is slightly reminiscent of apples. Very strong, good quality. The scent is not as sweet and amazing as some find to my nose. The quality is superb, and the price is fair. If you like cardamom, this is for you.

I love the spicy warming scent of cardamom, you are probably familiar with the seeds as they may be found in any supermarket spice rack. It is non-toxic and non-irritant but with possible sensitization in some individuals. Use for anorexia, colic, cramp, dyspepsia, flatulence, griping pains, halitosis, heartburn, indigestion, mental fatigue, morning sickness, nervous strain, vomiting. (Also known as Cardamomi, Cardomom, Cardomum, Ellettaria cardamomum variety cardamomum, Mysore Cardomom.) I love to use it for massage blends as it is a wonderful warming oil. This one is high quality and recommended for any aromatherapist.
