Cardamom Materia Medica

$5.00

Cardamom has been used in both Chinese (known as Bai dou kou) and Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years; it was introduced to the ancient Greek physicians, including Hippocrates, more than 2500 years ago. It is said that cardamom grew in the gardens of the King of Babylon in 720 B.C.E. The ancient Egyptians chewed cardamom to both whiten their teeth and sweeten their breath. Ancient Indian Ayurvedic medicine texts suggest the use of cardamom to remove fat and to treat urinary and skin disorders.
