Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Cambodium Cardamom, commonly referred to as Amomum krervanh or Siam cardamom, has a long-standing history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Southeast Asia and Ayurveda, for supporting digestive health and treating dyspepsia (indigestion). Traditional healers have used cardamom seeds and extracts to relieve symptoms such as bloating, flatulence, and discomfort after eating, often incorporating it into herbal mixtures or decoctions.

While there is some scientific interest in the digestive effects of cardamom species, robust clinical evidence specifically supporting Cambodium Cardamom for dyspepsia is limited. Most available studies focus on related species such as Elettaria cardamomum (green cardamom), which have shown mild antispasmodic and carminative effects in laboratory and animal studies. These effects could theoretically support its traditional use for indigestion, but direct clinical trials on Amomum krervanh for dyspepsia in humans are lacking.

In summary, the use of Cambodium Cardamom for dyspepsia is primarily justified by tradition and historical use rather than strong scientific validation. The evidence rating is moderate (2/5) due to the reliance on ethnobotanical records and indirect pharmacological data from related species, rather than rigorous clinical research.
