Cumin Essential Oil

Cumin Essential Oil is extracted from seeds known for their effectiveness in case of digestive discomfort. Cumin Essential Oil is recommended for its exceptional calming properties, especially in case of tension or sleep disorders.

History of Cumin Essential Oil

Used in Egypt 5,000 years ago, cumin originated in the Mediterranean basin in the Nile Valley. We already knew its medicinal virtues, but it was also used in the pharaonic tombs for members of the pharaonic families. In Ancient Rome, it was considered very precious and was one of the spices most coveted by explorers when traveling to India or Africa. Its essential oil, narcotic in high doses, was used as a drug in Indian harems, and was used by doctors and village sorcerers for the preparation of medicines to be ingested.

It was already recognized for its ability to facilitate digestion and its soothing effect against digestive disorders.

Properties of Cumin Essential Oil

The properties of Cumin Essential Oil are explained by the presence of active compounds originally present in the seeds of Cuminum cyminum.

For health

Carminative, digestive stimulant
Cumin Essential Oil contains monoterpenes which improve stomach movements. It has a carminative action, that is to say, it promotes the expulsion of intestinal gases, while reducing their production.

Antispasmodic
Like angelica and anise essential oils, Cumin Essential Oil has significant antispasmodic activity. This property is explained by the inhibition of the entry of calcium into the cells, which prevents the contraction of these organs.

Anti-infectious
The rich composition of Cumin Essential Oil in monoterpenes gives it powerful anti-infectious properties against bacteria, viruses, fungi but also worms and parasites. This property can be explained by the lipophilic nature of monoterpene compounds: they act by breaking the cytoplasmic membranes of pathogenic cells.

An immunostimulant
The monoterpenols it contains also stimulate natural defenses through its antioxidant components. By limiting oxidative stress, it indirectly strengthens the immune system.
