HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cardamom Powder by Banyan Botanicals
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product is cardamom powder—a single active ingredient. Cardamom is a spice derived from the seeds of a plant in the ginger family, and it's been used in cooking and traditional medicine for centuries.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for cardamom's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. Studies on its use for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, respiratory tract infections, diabetes, dyspepsia, epilepsy, and high cholesterol show insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it actually works for any of these.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Food amounts of cardamom are generally well tolerated. Concentrated supplement or essential oil doses haven't been studied well enough to know whether they're safe, so avoid those without talking to a healthcare provider first.
In rare cases, cardamom has caused mild skin inflammation when taken orally and contact dermatitis when handled in large quantities. Cardamom is likely safe during breastfeeding at food amounts.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for cardamom in our data.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're using cardamom powder as a spice in cooking, there's no worry here. If you're considering it as a supplement for a health condition, the evidence doesn't yet support its use—and you'd be using amounts beyond what's typical in food.
Talk to your pharmacist or doctor first about whether it makes sense for your situation.

Formula
(Elettaria cardamom) Ayurvedic Herbs
Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is an aromatic spice that awakens the appetite and supports healthy digestion without aggravating pitta. It supports balanced stomach aid levels and the downward flow of energy in the GI tract. This helps pacify vata and pitta and promotes a comfortable post-meal experience. Cardamom removes excess kapha from the stomach and supports healthy mucus levels in the body. It also eliminates kapha from the lungs, supporting clear, comfortable breathing. In Yoga of Herbs, Doctors Lad and Frawley write that cardamom "stimulates the mind and heart and gives you clarity and joy."
