Cardamom seeds can aid digestion, promote the secretion of digestive juices, and accelerate the breakdown of fats and proteins in the body, facilitating their rapid absorption and utilization. When experiencing indigestion, poor appetite, or abdominal bloating, taking cardamom seeds can quickly alleviate these discomforts. Cardamom seeds also help relieve coughing, reduce phlegm, and eliminate inflammation in the trachea, making them effective in treating conditions such as excessive cough with phlegm and shortness of breath. Additionally, they can help prevent upper respiratory tract infections and provide some relief for sore throat and hoarseness. Before using cardamom seeds, one should consult a doctor to ensure safety.
