Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Cambodian Cardamom (Amomum kravanh), also known as round cardamom or "kra vanh," is used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Southeast Asia. Its use for respiratory ailments, including rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucosa), is rooted in traditional practices. Historically, cardamom varieties have been employed in folk medicine for their aromatic, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties, believed to help clear nasal passages and ease breathing. However, most references to cardamom’s benefits for rhinitis come from broader uses for coughs, colds, and congestion, rather than specific clinical trials or targeted research on rhinitis itself.

There is a lack of robust scientific studies directly examining Cambodian Cardamom’s efficacy for rhinitis. The available scientific literature on cardamom generally focuses on other health effects or uses related to other species (e.g., Elettaria cardamomum). In summary, while Cambodian Cardamom is traditionally used in some cultures for conditions involving the respiratory tract, including symptoms similar to rhinitis, there is minimal clinical evidence to support its effectiveness for this specific condition.
