Cumin Tea for inflammations, gas buildup and bloating
Cumin
is so interesting that I decided do a little more
research and write about this wonderful herb.
Cumin can be used ground up or whole.
Cumin is a stimulating medicinal herb and it contains
compounds that fight inflammation, pain and swelling.
To make a tea with cumin it is best to have the seeds
that have been harvested from home grown plants like
everything else. You can find some cumin seeds in health
food stores. To make a tea with cumin steep one teaspoon
of dried and gently crushed cumin seeds in one cup of
boiling water. Let the cumin seeds steep in the water
for ten to twenty minutes.
After the gently crushed cumin seeds have steeped for
ten to twenty minutes you should strain out the cumin
seeds and drink the cumin tea. Drink one or two cups of
the cumin tea a day to help relieve the swelling and
inflammation.
Cumin is believed to aid in the absorption of iron. If
you have an iron deficiency you may want to try some
cumin tea. So this is also good for women who are
menstruating. Iron helps build blood cells.
Cumin is also good if you have indigestion or gas. If
you are having trouble with indigestion or gas you may
want to try some cumin tea to help relieve the
indigestion or gas. This is what IBS sufferers know.
