Ajwain Oil
Ajwain seed oil is a potent and spicy essential oil that has been used to treat a variety of ailments for centuries.
It contains a compound called thymol which is a strong anti-microbial agent and has analgesic, anesthetic, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties. This makes it a useful essential oil for relieving pain, cramps, inflammation and infections. It may also reduce the symptoms of sinusitis and upper respiratory problems like bronchitis and asthma due to its ability to release mucus, reduce inflammation, and calm muscle spasms in the airways.
Directions for use
Ajwain oil can be rubbed onto the skin to treat infections, relieve inflammation and reduce pain. It is a wonderful oil to massage into sore muscles, apply to painful joints, and rub onto the temples to treat a headache. When using ajwain oil on the skin it should be diluted at a rate of 1 drop to 1 teaspoon of carrier oil.
Treat colds, bronchitis and asthma by massaging this oil onto the chest, or inhaling it by adding 2 drops to an oil diffuser or bath. Add one drop of ajwain oil to a cup of warm water and use this as a mouthwash to address oral thrush, a sore throat and tooth pain.
