cardamom essential oil has a sweet, spicy scent that will be familiar to those who are accustomed to cardamom in (often asian) cuisine. this powerful oil is well-known for calming the respiratory and digestive systems and can often provide relief to those who struggle on boats or long car rides. as a traditional “warming” oil, cardamom is stimulating and uplifting. it can assist with the occasional case of a low mood and is sometimes used to enhance romantic desire.

directions: to soothe upsets during car rides or other motion, use cardamom essential oil in a portable diffuser or in an inhaler. diffuse in the home with lemon or bergamot oils for an uplifting and stimulating atmosphere. for adults, dilute to 2-5% for topical application.
