Cardamom seeds are useful for flatulence, but they are usually
used as adjuvants with other remedies. They are also used
as a spice in cooking and as a flavoring in other medicines.
The seeds and pods contain a volatile oil which is used in
perfumes and as a stimulant. The aphrodisiac properties of
cardamom are extolled in Arabian Nights- the people in Middle
East still believe that cardamom possesses such properties.
Cardamom is a stimulant, it cools the body in extreme heat
and it aids digestion.
Remedy for Celiac Disease: Chinese use powdered cardamom
sprinkled on cooked cereal to correct celiac disease (intolerance
for the gluten commonly occurring in children, marked by frequent
diarrhea and continual digestive problems.)
