CARDAMOM SEEDS

1)  For loss of voice or sore throat - Mix ¼ teaspoon green cardamom seed powder and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder in ½ cup warm water. Drink a mouthful, and keep this water in your mouth for about 10 minutes, while pulling the water from one side to the other, inside your mouth.  After about 10 mins, spit it out.  Then use the balance water for gargling. This method can help to restore normal voice, especially if the loss of voice is caused due to high fever and/or cold (phlegm).

2)  For Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) - Mix 2 – 3 pinches of black cardamom seed powder with ¼ - ½ teaspoon ground rock sugar. Take this powder followed by 100 ml normal water, 2 – 3 times a day. This formula can reduce burning sensation while urinating and can also help normalise the flow of urine.
