Cumin oil
Cumin oil, made from steam distilling the seeds of the Cuminum Cyminum plant, is a warming oil with a potent aroma and spicy, earthy notes. Cumin essential oil can be added to cooking for its wonderful flavor and many health benefits. Its anti-oxidant, anti-spasmodic and anti-microbial properties make it useful to use internally to treat digestive discomfort, and externally to relieve muscle aches and cramps, painful joints, stomach cramps and skin infections.
When used aromatically, cumin oil is calming and grounding which may help to reduce anxiety and boost confidence and emotional strength.
Directions for use
Take cumin internally by adding 1 drop to a glass of water and drinking it after a meal, or for a lovely spicy flavor add 1-3 drops to your cooking.
For external use, massage a few drops of cumin oil into the skin, muscles, joints and abdomen.
To use cumin oil aromatically, add 2-3 drops to an oil burner or diffuser. You can also make an oil blend by combining it with bergamot, caraway, lavender or rosemary oil.
