How to use

Using Cardamom Essential Oil in Skincare

Cardamom essential oil offers several benefits for skin care, thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and rejuvenating properties:

1. Facial Steam: Add a drop of cardamom oil to a bowl of hot water, and use it for facial steaming to cleanse pores deeply.
2. Skin Toner: Dilute cardamom oil in witch hazel or rose water for a natural toner that refreshes and tightens skin.
3. Moisturizing Massage: Mix a few drops of cardamom oil with a carrier oil (like jojoba or almond oil) and apply for hydration and glow.
4. Blemish Care: Its antibacterial properties can help reduce acne. Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to blemishes for soothing relief.
5. Body Scrub: Combine cardamom oil with sugar, coconut oil, and a pinch of ground cardamom for an aromatic exfoliating scrub.

3. Savory Dishes: Use sparingly in curries, soups, or marinades to enhance the depth of flavor.
