Functions of Cardamon
Culinary Use: Cardamon is often used as a spice. It contains abundant essential oils that can eliminate the fishy or gamey odor of meat, stimulate appetite, and enhance digestion.
Cancer Prevention: Extracts from Cardamon can enhance the body's immune response to tumors, disrupt protective factors around cancer cells, and make cancer tissues more vulnerable.
Digestive Health: Cardamon possesses functions of regulating Qi (vital energy) and stopping vomiting, warming the stomach, and aiding digestion. Therefore, nutmeg can be used to treat conditions like abdominal fullness, nausea, vomiting, and undigested food stagnation.
