Cumin and its digestive active ingredients


Stimulator of appetite, cumin is recognized as globally beneficial for the stomach and the digestive system. Cumin, especially used as an essential oil, promotes the secretion of gastric acid which acts as a protective of the intestinal and stomach walls. The mucous membrane of the stomach thus protected reduces the risk of acid attacks and burns. By thus stimulating the intestine, caraway is recommended for people suffering from constipation for its actions on stool production. Applied on the stomach as a neutral oil supplemented with cumin essential oil or absorbed on a piece of sugar after a hearty meal, it activates the secretion of enzymes from the gallbladder and pancreas to break down food more easily difficult to digest.
