Why These Natural Ingredients?
Black Caraway Seed
Black caraway seed, Nigella sativa, has been used for centuries in many cultures as a natural carminative agent. Black caraway seed has also been used for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Coriander Seed
Coriander, Coriandrum sativum, is a well known spice in kitchens across the world. The traditional Mexican seasoning, cilantro is grown from coriander seeds. Both cilantro and coriander are known to have carminative actions.
Cardamom
Cardamom, Elletaria cardamomum, is another popular spice that is commonly used in many cultures to support the gastrointestinal tract.
Cumin
Herbalists have used cumin, Cuminum cyminum, as a carminative agent for centuries. Today it is traditionally used in Indian and Mexican cooking and fills the kitchen with a very distinct smell. Because it has a strong pungent flavor, modern herbalists often replace cumin with caraway when used as a carminative agent.
Ginger Root
Ginger, Zingiber officinale, is one of the most well known natural anti-nausea spices. Medicinally, it has been used traditionally in many cultures to promote gastrointestinal health and to soothe an upset stomach.
