What is Ajwain

Carom seeds (or ajwain) is a common Indian spice. They are the seeds of the Ajwain herb. A simple water or a herbal drink prepared using boiling ajwain seeds in water helps in cough and cold, relieves acidity along with flatulence and is also known to promote weight loss.

Ajwain is very commonly used in many dishes across Indian cuisine and helps in enhancing the flavour. It has many healing and medicinal properties and is best known to cure digestive problems, constipation, cold and cough in kids as well as adults. Many times it is also eaten raw. It has a pungent and spicy taste but is incredibly nutritious. 

Ajwain water – Benefits

I remember taking this ajwain water daily after my childbirth. It helps in cleaning your system as well as reducing menstrual pain. If you are suffering from acidity or indigestion it is best to consume half a teaspoon of this Ajwain seeds.

Ajwain water for cough and cold

I generally make this now when we are suffering from cough and cold. I simply boil the seeds in water, let it cool and consume about 5 – 10 ml, 2-3 times a day for kids and a bit more for adults.

Yes I know it is difficult to give this to kids, and I generally use a syringe and give it as medicine. I did start this my kids only after the age of 2 and in very little quantity of just 5 ml twice a day.

It is said that consumption of this water helps in weight loss too. I did come to know about this only while I was searching if such a recipe exist. And most of them claim too. I have yet to try this.
