Product Description:

Cumin is an aromatic seed that can be used by all doshas. It is bitter, astringent and cooling, with a pungent vipaka (post digestive taste). Cumin is a vital part of ayurvedic cooking, because of its distinctive taste and wonderful medicinal qualities. For any digestive complaints, one one might almost say, “just close your eyes and use cumin!” cumin kindles the gastric fire and improves the absorption of minerals in the intestines. It helps relieve problems of gas and can also act as a mild pain reliever. Stomach pain, nausea and diarrhea can be relieved by cumin. Cumin is also very restorative to the tissues.

1. To bring down fever, mix equal quantities of cumin seeds, coriander seeds and fennel seeds. Add a teaspoon of this mixture to 1 cup boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes and drink.

2. For stomach pain, make a mixture of ½ teaspoon cumin powder, a pinch of hing and a pinch of rock salt. Mix and chew very well. Follow with warm water.

3. For nausea or upset stomach, a tea made from 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and a pinch of ground nutmeg in 1 cup boiling water and steeped for 10 minutes can bring some relief.

4. For vaginal infections, such as leucorrhea (white discharge), try the following: 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon ghee, 1 teaspoon chopped licorice root and 1 pint boiling water. Let this steep at least 10 minutes. Cool to body temperature, strain and use as a douche.

5. For some relief from menstrual pain roast cumin seeds in an ungreased iron pan until they smell pungent. Chew a spoonful slowly, followed by 1 tablespoon aloevera juice.
