It’s a week since I came down with a very nasty tummy bug and I'm still finding that my tummy is not quite back to normal. Thank goodness for my essential oils and the oil I feel particularly drawn to today is Cardamom. Traditionally cardamom seeds have been used for a wide variety of complaints including fluid retention, coughs and various nervous disorders. Cardamom will calm the stomach after vomiting and will also stimulate the appetite. It is also helpful for gas, heartburn, indigestion, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Interestingly enough on a more subtle level Cardamom is considered to be an antidote to sugar cravings. It also helps one to overcome blockages that could be preventing the opening of creative or sexual expression. Consider using Cardamom when one is overburdened with responsibilities or when one needs to allow one’s heart to open to others so we can be more gracious in our dealings with them. Considered non-toxic, non-sensitizing and non-irritating.
My diffuser blend for today : Cardamom 3 drops, Ginger (CO2) 1 drop, Grapefruit 3 drops

Bev, I am glad that you are now feeling better. Thanks for the diffuser blend suggestion - I was thinking of blending something with ginger before I logged on today, and now I have my formula! :-)
