CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
In the recent past, exploration of chemical composition of cumin and
caraway seeds (which are also rich sources of essential oils) has
remarkably captured enormous attention of researchers. In the quest to
identify the constituents, a diverse array of compounds have been
revealed in essential oils, oleoresins and seeds of carum and caraway
that have grown in diverse agro-climate locations. Majority of such
compounds are monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes,
oxygenated sesquiterpenes, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids,
aldehydes, ketones and esters.

ETHNOMEDICAL/FOLKLORE USAGE
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian therapeutic system, which is based on the curative properties of plants and plant derived products. A very large number of medicinal herbs of various taxonomic genera are included in many forms in this traditional therapy, which are also relied upon in other other indigenous systems of medicine practiced in Southeast Asia, such as Siddha and Unani systems. In these traditional therapies, cumin as well as caraway seeds are prominently considered carminative, eupeptic, antispasmodic, astringent and used in the treatment of mild digestive disorders, diarrhea, dyspepsia, flatulence, morning sickness, colic, dyspeptic headache and bloating, and are said to promote the assimilation of other herbs and to improve liver function. They have also been used in bronchopulmonary disorders and as a cough remedy, as well as an analgesic. Vapors from caraway seeds are reported to give relief in patients suffering from lumbago and rheumatism. Caraway water finds use as a vehicle for pediatric medicines. As a mixture with alcohol and castor oil, it has been used for the treatment of scabies.
