In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Cardamom is in the category of herbs “aromatic dispel dampness.”
This means its aroma plus drying nature can eliminate dampness .
Symptoms of dampness include a feeling of heaviness or edema, loose stools, diarrhea, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, abdominal distention, chest fullness or an oppressive sensation in the chest, and lethargy.
When dampness congeals over time it forms phlegm, which creates tumors, cysts, soft lumps, nodules, cancer, numbness, tremors and paralysis.
