The Instagram post claims that eating 2 cardamoms regularly at night eliminates impotence in men. The claim is False.

Claim

An Instagram user health.task7 posted a claim titled, elaichi khane se napunsakta dur ho jati h (Eating cardamom eliminates impotence), where the post states that "Men should eat at least 2 cardamoms regularly before going to bed at night. Eating cardamom eliminates impotence in men because cardamom helps improve sexual health."

The post can be accessed here.

Fact Check

The claim is False. While cardamom may support general health and sexual well-being, it is not a cure for impotence, nor can it eliminate it. Consulting a healthcare professional is crucial for effective treatment.

What is Impotence in Men?

Impotence, which is now called erectile dysfunction (ED), refers to the inability to get or keep a firm enough erection for satisfying sexual activity. Although no specific time frame is part of the definition, some experts suggest the condition should last for at least six months to be classified as ED. It is a common issue in men over 40, and its likelihood increases with age and other health problems.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be a sign of various underlying health issues and is an important but often overlooked risk factor for heart problems. Any condition that affects the blood vessels, nerves, hormones, smooth muscle, or tissues in the penis can lead to ED.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) often has multiple causes. Mental health issues like depression, performance anxiety, and other sexual disorders can contribute significantly, even when physical problems are present. Aging is a key factor in ED, as older age is linked to conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, and other health issues that can worsen ED. Diabetes and metabolic syndrome can also damage various organ systems, leading to a faster decline in erectile function.

Health Benefits of Cardamom

Cardamom, often called the "queen of spices," is a fragrant spice native to the Western Ghats of South India. Known for its sweet, mint-like flavor, it has been used in traditional medicine for centuries due to its powerful antioxidant and therapeutic properties. The seeds, oils, and extracts of cardamom are valued for their medicinal benefits.

Cardamom is rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which support heart health and helps regulate blood pressure. Its diuretic effects help detoxify the body and reduce water retention. Cardamom fights bad breath, eases asthma by clearing airways, reduces muscle and joint pain with its anti-inflammatory properties, supports digestion, and relieves nausea.

Can eating 2 cardamoms regularly at night eliminate impotence in men?

Cardamom offers several health benefits, acting as a powerful antioxidant and being rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which support heart health and aid in regulating blood pressure. While some studies have highlighted its aphrodisiac properties that may help treat impotence, there no scientific evidence and medical consensus that support the claim that eating 2 cardamoms regularly at night eliminate impotence in men.

A research article published in the International Journal of Environment and Health Sciences mentioned that cardamom has aphrodisiac properties, meaning it can enhance sexual desire, performance, and pleasure. However, the article does not state that cardamom alone can eliminate impotence.

Another narrative review published in Nutrition Today notes that cardamom is used in cases such as impotence. However, it does not specifically mention its ability to eliminate impotence on its own.

Yet another review article published in the Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology mentioned that cardamom oil has an arousing effect that may help treat sexual weakness, erectile dysfunction, and impotence. However, this article as well does not attribute the ability to eliminate impotence in men to cardamom alone.

These studies have emphasized the potential of cardamom in aiding the treatment of impotence. However, they do not attribute a standalone ability to cardamom for eliminating impotency in men, and there is no medical consensus supporting the claim that consuming two cardamoms daily can eradicate impotence in men.

Dr Chirag Bhandari, MBBS, MS(Andrology), FECSM (Fellow of The European Committee of Sexual Medicine), told Medical Dialogues, "The claim that eating two cardamoms at night can cure impotence in men lacks scientific backing. Impotence, medically known as erectile dysfunction (ED), is a multifaceted condition influenced by several factors. Common causes include psychological stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, which can significantly impact a man's emotional and sexual well-being. Lifestyle choices such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, high cholesterol levels, and lack of physical activity are major contributors to ED. Misleading remedies like cardamom consumption can divert individuals from seeking proper treatment. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management."

Medical Dialogues Final Take

Cardamom is known for its potential health benefits, including its role in supporting overall well-being and possibly aiding in sexual health. However, it is not a standalone solution for eliminating impotence. Claims that eating two cardamoms daily can eradicate impotence lack sufficient backing. For effective management of such concerns, consulting a healthcare professional is essential to explore appropriate treatments and solutions.

Hence, the claim that eating 2 cardamoms regularly at night eliminate impotence in men is False.
