The Aromahead Blog - Aromatherapy Education and Resources

Cardamom essential oil has a lot to tell you . . .

Some essential oils have multiple sides to their personalities.

Like Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum).

Cardamom is spicy, sweet, warm, balsamic, and camphoraceous.

These “multiple personalities” expand Cardamom’s skill set and insight. It’s comforting, energizing, warming, supports immunity, eases digestion, encourages circulation, relieves pain, clears congestion, and more.

There is so much to know about Cardamom . . . so I created an Aromahead webinar class entirely dedicated to Cardamom essential oil!

How to Make Your Own Foam Soap with a Holiday Twist!

Some people make special casseroles at this time of year, or pies, ciders and drinks that they save for this season. I like to make special Aromatherapy recipes!

There are a lot of essential oils that can create a warm, cozy holiday atmosphere, but some seem to be more associated with the season than others—such as Douglas Fir (Psuedostuga menzies), Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana), Pinon Pine (Pinus edulis), Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis), Peppermint (Mentha × piperita), Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), and Clove (Eugenia caryophyllata).

You can use them to create a festive atmosphere with seasonal diffuser blends, natural cleaning blends, and foam soaps . . . like this one!
