Top Benefits Of Cardamom on Health ( Elaichi )

Last Updated on September 26, 2017 | RD, Payal Banka (Registered Dietitian) 162 Comments

Cardamom is known as elaichi in India. It is an ingredient in traditional Indian desserts and other dishes for the lovely aroma and strong flavor it imparts. It is not only taste but health benefits of cardamom that makes it a preferred spice.

 What are the Types of Cardamom and What is Cardamom used for ?

  • Green Cardamom / Choti Elaichi – It is green in color and small in size. It imparts a pleasing aroma and enhances flavors. Green Cardamom is primarily used in desserts and drinks.
  • Black cardamom / Badi Elaichi – This is black in color and bigger in size . It may be used in spicy preparations with strong flavors, like rice, spicy stews, curries and garam masala.

Benefits of Cardamom / Elaichi 

1] Improves Digestion

Cardamom helps in stimulation and regular excretion of gastric juices in the stomach. It helps in balancing these acids in cases of acidity, thus providing relief during heart burns. A good benefit of cardamom is chewing it after a meal. This helps those suffering from flatulence and gas. Cardamom is also beneficial in relieving stomach cramps and hiccups.

3] Detoxifying agent

Cardamom helps in cleansing of body. It is considered to be a refinement spice against caffeine. Cardamom also helps those who want to quit addictions like smoking, alcohol, tobacco chewing, and even those who have a sweet tooth. It eliminates urges.

4] Treats urinary infection

One of the lesser known benefits of cardamom is that it is a diuretic and helps in increasing urination. It has thus been found to be helpful in urinary tract infections.

5] Helps in oral problems

It helps in curing tooth and gum infections. The most common benefits of cardamom is that it can be used as a mouth freshener. It is a boon to a vocalist as it helps in improving voice.

6] Essential volatile oils

Cardamom oil is full of antiseptic, anti depressant, anti ageing and antioxidant properties.  Avail benefits of cardamom by applying this oil when you have headaches. Adding Cardamom oil to bathing water helps in relieving depression, stress and in fighting common sicknesses and bodily strife.

7] Tonic

It enhances appetite.  A well known benefit of cardamom includes decreasing nausea and vomiting. Cardamom helps in relieving mouth ulcers. It encourages the functioning of nervous system and helps in relieving weakness.

Cardamom contains phytochemicals like Indole -3- carbinol (IC3) and di –indolylmethane (DIM). These helps in fighting hormone responding cancers like prostate cancer, ovarian and breast cancers.

8] Good source of minerals

It contains potassium, calcium and magnesium. These minerals play a role in controlling heart rates, blood pressure and are important component of body fluids and cells.

It also contains copper, manganese and iron. These contribute to cardamom’s antioxidant and blood cell formation properties.

The benefits of cardamom have been known to mankind since ancient times. In Ayurveda, cardamom is referred to as “Tridoshic” and is used in balancing the three doshas of human body.

    Hello everyone,This is the first time I am commenting on something like this but Guess its very important.Me and my sister were cardamom addicts for like 2 years and more than the advantages..We were going through the side effects which are :-
    1.Severe mouth and tongue ulcers
    2.throat tightness
    3.doesn’t digest fast
    4.Spoils teeth and also breaks them
    5.Decreases haemoglobin level which is worst of all..My sister haemoglbin went from 10 to 6 due to 7-8 pieces of cardamom in a day

      congratulations dear. Yes you can have black cardamom , but have only 1 – 2 pieces of it . you can also include other natural antibiotics in food . like tulsi leaves , turmeric powder, garlic , mulethi sticks, very little ginger.

      Hi Neae ,

      it is normal to noit get periods after delivery for almost a year . and many women dont get it that soon . so not to worry . However , there are high chances of re conceiving , and i really dont think that eating cardamom can alone act as a anti – pregnancy act for you . You need better .

      Hi Arvinder ,

      i hope you are taking other measures for weight loss ,a as eating elaichi alone is not going to help you in losing weight . Elaichi only helps in curbing your hunger for some time , but it is not a remedy for weight loss. Walking or exercising for 45 mins everyday will help you in a good way to lose weight. along with the exercise you also need follow a healthy regime. You can find some basic and important tips for weight loss in this article here – http://www.dietburrp.com/top-10-weight-loss-tips/ if you want me to analyse your regime and plan a diet plan personalized for you, please see this page. – http://www.dietburrp.com/diet-services/

      Or You can try following the diet plan mentioned above in the article.- http://www.dietburrp.com/indian-diet-plan-for-weight-loss/ this is a general 1200 calorie diet plan and has helped many. it may be of help to you as well.

      See there isnt much data available to claim that cardamm interferes with conceiving or cardamom affects fertility . this might even be a yth . so the best thing is to eat things in moderations to avoid any complication . if you are so peculiar about family planning right now , what will happen if you dont eat cardamom .. once in a while and -2 -3 pods of cardamom will not have any side effect on fertility
