Carum carvi

Do not take essential oil of caraway internally. Caraway seed can be eaten raw or in infusion before meals to increace the appetite or after meals to aid digestion, sweeten breath or relieve flatulence. The seeds can also be taken to treat menstraul cramps or coughs. The seeds are safe for children and aid in treating upset stomach. The fresh leaves, roots, and seeds have digestive properties. Caraway is one of my favorite herbs to use medicinally. Thanks to my aunt, my niece and nephews never had a long spell

of upset stomach or other such problems as babies. My aunt taught my sister and I how to make a caraway seed tea to help indigestion for my niece and nephews.
