About Cumin powder Ground cumin (Cuminum cyminum) is one of the best herbs for supporting healthy digestion without aggravating pitta. A common household spice, its Sanskrit name literally means "promoting digestion." In addition to providing flavor to food, ground cumin enkindles the digestive fire, promotes healthy absorption, and eliminates natural toxins in the GI tract. The seeds are often chewed after meals and are especially useful for calming excess vata in the lower abdomen and in promoting a comfortable post dining experience.* Herbal tablets that contain Cumin seed include:Pitta Digest, Vata Digest, Yogaraj Guggulu Other products that contain Cumin seed include:Hingvastak powder, Yogaraj Guggulu powder Enkindles the digestive fire* Promotes healthy absorption and elimination of natural toxins from the GI tract* Helps digest natural toxins* Calms vata in the lower abdomen and promotes a comfortable post-meal experience* How To Use Ayurvedic Energetics: Rasa (taste): pungent, bitter Virya (action): cooling Vipaka (post-digestive effect): pungent Doshas (constitutions): Balancing for all doshas Suggested Use:¼ to ½ teaspoon with warm water, once or twice daily, or as directed by your health practitioner.
