Preparation method
Put the cumin seeds in a small pan or bowl and add the two cups of boiling water.
Heat the decoction for 10 minutes using a double boiler (au bain-marie); you can also just heat the liquid in a bowl over a pot of boiling water.
Let the decoction cool, and strain it. The infusion is now ready for use.
Cumin Tea
Cumin tea helps relieve symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common disorders of the digestive tract, causing abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, and constipation, or both. Physical or emotional stress and an unhealthy diet trigger the symptoms.
One of the most powerful remedies to relieve the symptoms is cumin—one of the oldest herbs. Studies have shown that cumin is highly effective in treating the digestive spasms, cramps, bloating, and nausea associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
In a study on 120 patients in 1999, cumin significantly reduced abdominal pain in patients with IBS, and a study in 2000 showed that cumin could relieve pain in patients with functional digestive disease.
