How It's Used
In Chinese herbal practices, Cardamom Pods, or Amomum, are used to move Qi and transform dampness aromatically. They help alleviate the sensation of “food stagnation,” the heaviness or fullness that can follow eating too much or consuming challenging foods.
In Western herbal traditions, Amomum Fruit is used to calm abdominal discomfort and promote ease in the digestive process, offering gentle support.
Fun Fact: Aromatic herbs like Amomum Fruit have been cherished for centuries for their ability to address dampness—a concept in Traditional Chinese herbal practice tied to feelings of heaviness or sluggishness after meals. The herb’s pleasant fragrance is a natural sign of its uplifting qualities!
