Cumin Seeds

Cumin seeds are one of the oldest spices, known since biblical times. They are a powerful antibacterial food. They are rich source of thymol, which is an anthelmintic against hookworm infections and also as an antiseptic in many proprietary preparations. Dilute cumin water is an antiseptic beverage and very useful in common cold and fevers. To prepare cumin water, a teaspoon of cumin seeds is added to boiling water, which is allowed to simmer for a few seconds and set aside to cool. If the cold is associated with sore throat, a few small pieces of dry ginger should be added to the water. This soothes throat irritation.
