This is the oil of Objectivity. Objectivity means you can get a clear spectator’s perspective on situations. Cardamom is fantastic for the digestive system and respiratory system. When one is easily caught up in other people’s problems and situation your gut and lungs will be affected. This oil helps one take responsibility for his/her own happiness and not guilt others or manipulating others into doing or being what you want. On the other hand, this oil helps you not blame others for your choice of not feeling happy. Sometimes we are blinded by emotions and our own bias. This oil helps us separate ourselves from issues.

We want to be caring and helpful but sometimes we get too involved and intertwined in people’s issues at times and become less helpful. Cardamom helps us step back and help in a more powerful way.

Two main things you should associate with Cardamom: Digestion and Respiratory. Cardamom helps the Digestive system and Respiratory system¹ on a physical, mental and spiritual level.

dōTERRA’s Cardamom essential oil is extracted from Cardamom seeds grown in Guatemala. Cardamom is one of the oils in the Breathe Respiratory blend.

MIND

Cardamom is the Oil of Objectivity. According to the Emotions & Essential Oils, the negative emotions Cardamom oil helps to release are as follows: Inebriated by anger, easily frustrated, objectifying others, blaming, unable to think clearly

The positive properties we can incorporate are the following: Objective, self-control, respectful, tolerant, patient, mental sobriety

If you find that you easily get angry and frustrated by people and you sometimes loose your ‘cool’ then this is the oil for you. The negative emotions Cardamom helps us release are: anger, frustration, objectifying others, blaming, and inability to think clearly.

Cardamom helps you regain your objectivity, mental, and emotional self control. Anger is often held in the liver and gall bladder. The root of anger is fear which is often held in the kidneys and bladder. And fear makes us worried and grieved which affects our gut and lungs! Can you see how Cardamom helps support the digestive system and respiratory system now? If we aren’t so angry, we can breathe better right? We share energy with our gut when we are not in our head too much right?

SPIRIT

When we have a hard time being objective, it could be that we have a false belief that perhaps we are not enough. What that means is we feel smaller than our problems, that we are not powerful enough to resolve our problems, and that we believe we are not safe.

Feeling unsafe inside causes a lot of problems such as discrimination, hatred, jealousy and intolerance. We forget that we are all children of God. As humans, we will all forget that we are safe and protected by God and all we have to do is to connect to Him. The darkness and opposition in the world makes it so easy to think negatively. We think negatively about ourselves at first and then it is reflected on others by how we act.

Use Cardamon oil to help you see the big picture and become calmer with the grander visions of how things really are.

Being objective is important especially when you feel alone, overwhelmed and burdened. When I focus on my problems, I can’t see other people’s needs around me. Some people need my love and attention. When we are objective and clear thinking, we see how much power we actually have to handle our problems. Soon we can see others and we start to appreciate other people’s powerful contributions to the world too.
