Alqvimia Cardamom Essential Oil 10ml

Alqvimia Cardamom Essential Oil

Cardamom is a shrub that can reach a height of up to 4 meters. It has long leaves and yellow flowers. These flowers produce seeds that are collected a little before full ripening.

Cardamom is a species known since ancient times that was used as a condiment and medicine. The Arabs and Romans used it to treat gastrointestinal problems. Hippocrates recommended it to relieve colds, abdominal pains, spasms, nervous imbalances and insect bites. In Chinese Medicine, cardamom is considered to help the regeneration of Chi or life force by stimulating the lungs, spleen, heart and nervous system. In Asia, cardamom has been considered a good stimulant especially recommended for men since increasing the production of Chi increased vital and sexual energy.

Among its properties and benefits are:

At Cosmetic Level: Cardamom Essential Oil is a stimulating tonic with a mild effect when used cosmetically. It also has an antimicrobial effect that contributes to the elimination of bacteria on the skin.

Mode of use

There are different ways to apply and use Essential Oils and Essential Oil Preparations:

SKIN APPLICATION:

• face use: we recommend a ratio of 99% Carrier Oil plus 1% Essential Oil. This translates into 2 drops of Essential Oil for every 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.
• Body use: we recommend a proportion of 97% Carrier Oil plus 3% Essential Oil, which means 6 drops of Essential Oil per 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.

APPLICATION MODE:

• Diffuser: the use of diffusers without heat such as the ALQVIMIA Flask is recommended, since heat modifies the properties of essential oils. Use a maximum of 10 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in the diffuser.
• Bath: dilute a maximum of 10-15 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in a small amount of milk (vegetable or animal), yogurt, honey, salt or Bath Gel. This is because essential oils are not soluble in water and need a vehicle to dissolve in the bath.
• Vapor Inhalation: apply a maximum of 5 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation on a pan of hot water with approximately 1-2 liters of water, and inhale, covering the head and pan with a towel, to maintain the steam for longer.
• Sauna: dilute a maximum of 2 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation for every 500ml used in the sauna.
• Air freshener spray: the use of Alqvimia Anti-Stress Cologne Water is recommended.
