Cardamom Essential Oil-
From the shadowed spice markets of ancient temples, Cardamom Dark Reserve whispers secrets in warm, sacred breath. This is not the bright green breeze of everyday cardamom-it is the deep, resinous heart of the pod, aged in mystery, spiced with soul.
It stirs the fire in the belly while softening the walls around the heart. A sacred alchemy of heat & elegance, Cardamom Dark Reserve walks between masculine strength & feminine grace. It is the oil of sacred speech, of truth whispered over incense smoke, of clarity spoken in moonlight.
This cardamom is the voice of intuition and bold tenderness. A mystical tonic for the heart & solar plexus, she is the warm breath of confidence, charm, & spirit-guided will.
