Today I want to share important knowledge about the cardamom tea.
You probably know by now that this tea is perfect for weight loss and digestion.
But you'll be astonished to know how incredibly healing this tea truly is.
In fact, cardamom tea has numerous boosting health benefits and that's all thanks to its high concentrations of:
- Eucalyptol
- Camphor
- Limonene
- alpha-pinene
- beta-pinene
- myrcene
- vitamin A, B and C
- potassium
- iron
- magnesium
- copper
- zinc
And the best part is that, unless you are allergic to cardamom or have gallstone problems, this tea is completely safe.
However, you should consult your doctor if you are taking drugs like:
- anti-depressants
- anticoagulants
- aspirin
- medication for irritable bowel syndrome
But if you stick to no more than 3 grams of cardamom powder per day, you should be safe.
Now, let's dive in and see how this incredible tea can improve your health:
Medicinal Treatments with Cardamom Tea
Cardiovascular Health
Cardamom seeds are rich in potassium and are the main reason why cardamom tea is recommended for hypertensive people.
Plus, it also lowers your risk for atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.
And that's not all!
Drinking cardamom tea has shown to improve blood circulation due to its high content of iron.
This, in turn, helps to stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The more red blood cells you have, the better is oxygen transported to your organs and cells.
Thus improving your overall health.
Skin Health
A lot of people nowadays deal with skin issues like:
- eczema
- psoriasis
- acne
- irritation
- inflammation
And no wonder, since there's so much pollution and the food we eat is filled with chemicals.
So, if you want to forget about these health issues for good and enjoy beautiful skin, cardamom tea will do exactly that.
To enjoy this effect, start consuming cardamom tea a few times a day.
You can also apply it to the affected areas since it has an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect.
It will soothe the inflammation and prevent future flare-ups.
Make sure the tea is cooled before application.
Prevent Cancer
Cardamom seeds contain medicinal oils that carry rich amounts of antioxidants like limonene and cineole.
Studies suggest that these two compounds are powerful carcinogens.
Therefore, make sure you consume at least 3 cups of cardamom tea a day to benefits from its healing effect.
Pain Relief
Cardamom tea has been used for decades to treat pain and inflammation.
So, whether you suffer from headaches, arthritis, injury-related pain, period or chronic pain, adding cardamom tea to your diet might do you a world of good.
Now that you're aware of its health benefits, it's time to prepare it:
