1. Terpinyl Acetate:
Terpinyl acetate is an ester that gives cardamom oil its characteristic fruity and floral scent. It has calming and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for relieving stress and reducing inflammation. Terpinyl acetate also contributes to the oil's use in aromatherapy for creating a relaxing environment.

2. Cineole (Eucalyptol):
Cineole is a key component that gives cardamom oil its refreshing, menthol-like aroma. It is known for its expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective for relieving respiratory issues such as colds, coughs, and bronchitis. Cineole helps clear the airways and improve respiratory health.

3. Linalyl Acetate:
Linalyl acetate is an ester found in several essential oils, including lavender. It has calming and anti-anxiety properties, making it valuable for promoting relaxation and reducing stress. In cardamom oil, linalyl acetate contributes to its ability to relieve mental and physical tension.

4. Linalool:

5. Sabinene:
Sabinene is a monoterpene that gives cardamom oil its spicy and peppery notes. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and can help protect cells from damage and reduce inflammation. Sabinene also contributes to the oil's antiseptic and analgesic properties.

Linalool: A common allergen in many essential oils, it can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
