Rejuvenation Oil, Part II
I hibernate like a bear in the Winter. Now, Spring is coming and it’s time for rejuvenation. Today, I would like to talk about Cardamon Essential Oil. This is one of the lesser known essential oils, but fits right in with the theme of losing that Winter weight, colds & allergies, and rejuvenation.
Cardomon (Elettaria cardamomum)
Cardomon Essential Oil encourages clarity, direction, enthusiasm, and motivation. (Perfect for a bear coming out of hibernation!) It acts as a diuretic and expectorant. Cardamon Essential Oil has a fresh balsmic scent. It is a scent that stimulates awankening, creativity, and wisdom.
Add 3-4 drops to an Oil Burner for congestion relief. Use it as often as needed throughout your day.
Blend 6-8 drops to 1 ounce of your chosen carrier oil. Use 4-5 drops of this blend to gently massage the stomach to stimulate digestion and benefit from it’s diuretic properties.
Place 6-8 drops of the blend into your bath to encourage clarity, direction, enthusiasm, and motivation.
Happy Rejuvenating!

Cardamom is awesome! Never tried using the oil but love the taste of this spice and love it in coffee of all things!
I’ve never tried it in coffee. May have to try that one.
One of the local coffee shops makes Turkish Latte. It’s a latte with coffee with honey and cardamom. Mostly I skip the honey and add brown rice syrup.
Direction and motivation…hmm. It sounds like cardamom oil is just what I need!
Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
