Ett växtsläkte (kardemumma) inom familjen Zingiberaceae. Växterna innehåller akuleatin D, beta-sitosterol och stigmasterol. Vissa arter har klassats om till Elettaria.

I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Amomum" is not a medical term or concept. It is actually the name of a genus of plants in the family Zingiberaceae, which includes ginger and cardamom. Some species of Amomum are used in traditional medicine in various parts of the world, but the term itself does not have a specific medicinal definition. If you have any questions about a specific medical issue or condition, I would be happy to try to help with that instead!
