It strengthens the heart, warms the kidneys and promotes Agni. Like ginger, it is almost a universal medicine, and is less likely to aggravate Pitta than ginger. It is a good general beverage (its quality is sattvic) for Vata constitution. It is the basis for the Three Aromatics, along with cardamom and bay leaves.
