Chinese Black Cardamom (Lanxangia tsaoko) is the dried, aromatic seed pod of a ginger‑related plant. It is traditionally used for digestive support, to relieve gas and bloating, and for its antimicrobial, anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help lower cancer risk. People should use it in moderation, as high doses can irritate the stomach, and it is best avoided during pregnancy or by those taking blood‑thinning medications without medical advice.
