Synopsis

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

Amomum subulatum (black cardamom) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Unani medicine, where it is used to address digestive issues including belching, flatulence, and dyspepsia. The seeds and pods are often included in formulations or consumed directly to help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, which can manifest as belching. Traditional texts describe its carminative properties, meaning it is believed to help expel gas from the gastrointestinal tract and reduce discomfort associated with bloating and belching.

However, there is limited direct scientific evidence specifically validating the efficacy of Amomum subulatum for treating belching. Some studies have identified general digestive benefits from related species and cardamom varieties, such as exerting antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and carminative effects, but robust clinical trials focusing on belching are lacking. The traditional rating reflects the use in historical medical systems and ethnobotanical reports rather than modern clinical data.

In summary, the use of Amomum subulatum for belching is primarily supported by traditional knowledge, with only indirect or anecdotal scientific support.
