Tradition & Lore
Folklore & Botany
Native to the lush forests of southern India, cardamom has been cherished for millennia as both medicine and perfume. In Ayurveda, it is used to calm the stomach and clear the senses; in ancient Persia and Egypt, it perfumed oils and elixirs meant to restore vitality and joy. Cardamom’s gentle aroma was said to balance the elements within; fire tempered by sweetness, strength softened by fragrance. It remains a spice of quiet depth, lending warmth not through heat, but through presence.
