Properties

The plant components of cumin offer multiple health benefits. Cumin seeds have laxative, diuretic and appetizing properties, while they favor easy digestion and are effective in spasms and indigestion. In addition, they enhance emmenagogue and milk production, while having a positive effect on cardiac function. Cumin essential oil is an excellent reliever of excess gas in the stomach (flatulence), with a dose of 1 to 2 grams dissolved in a little water. Chewing cumin seeds offers the same effects, also acting as an appetizer, digestive and tonic for the digestive system and liver.

*Note: The information about the benefits has been taken from books and other sources. Before using the herb you should ask your doctor, the same if you are already taking any medication.
