The green seed pods of cardamom are dried and the used in Indian and Asian cuisines. Research points to antimicrobial agents present, so the essential oil extracted from cardamom is used across mouthwash, paste and oral care product manufacturers. Cardamom Essential Oil smells spicy, woody, rich and sweet. The main constituents are Cineolea, Terpinyl Acetate, Linalyl acetate, Limonene & Linalool.
