For a refreshing drink or to use
as your daily water intake take two teaspoons of cumin seeds per litre of
water. Crush them in a pestle and mortar or in a plastic bag with a rolling
pin. Put in the water and boil for a few minutes, strain and drink.
This increases the appetite and
also restores the intestinal tract and is anti bactericidal. It also
alleviates gas.
Cumin
Seed Remedy
Take three tablespoons of cumin
use the same process as the above but only use two cups of water and boil for a
while so it reduces to one cup. This will be a dark strong liquid you may add
some brown sugar or jaggery to your taste. This is best drunk early in
the morning before food or in between meals, once a day. This is a great remedy
for trapped wind and colicky pain in the intestines. This is too strong for
children but they may take a few teaspoons of the above cumin water.
