Cumin has a warm spicy fragrance and is an excellent digestive aid. It relieves wind and may prevent upsets such as diarrhea. If there is wind or stomach ache dry fry two teaspoons of seeds until they release their aroma. Allow them to cool and chew slowly. Alternatively they may be boiled in two cups of water and the liquid sipped when it is still warm.
It has also been found that these fragrant seeds may stimulate the production of pancreatic enzymes helping the body to break down food and absorb nutrients. Chewing a few seeds with a blend of fennel cloves and cardamon enhances digestion. Carrots are a great combination with cumin and it may be added to savory bread.
