Cardamom helps us to regain objectivity, mental sobriety and self-control. It helps us if we frequently feel frustrated or angry with others. Cardamom is helpful for times when our anger goes to our head, causing us to become “hot headed”. In such situations we become inebriated with anger, losing control and rational function. Cardamom helps to bring balance, mental clarity and objectivity during moments of extreme anger and frustration.

Cardamom is especially beneficial for people with a long history of anger or aggression, which often becomes directed outward. It is helpful for those who hyper-focus on their problems, especially their frustrations. Cardamom assists us in breaking down or ‘digesting’ these intense emotions of frustration and anger, by redirecting energy to the solar plexus, the centre of responsibility. In this way, Cardamom helps us to let go of emotional distortions which cause us to objectify other people and see them as inconveniences.

Cardamom demands that we stop blaming others. It asks us to take personal ownership and responsibility for our feelings. As we do we will feel more at peace, calm, and in control of ourselves.
