Caraway seeds are typically consumed as a food or spice, but caraway oil and caraway seed powder are also sold in dietary supplement form. Some proponents suggest that consuming caraway seeds or caraway supplements can promote weight loss and offer other health benefits.
Uses for Caraway:
- In alternative medicine, caraway is often touted as a natural remedy for the following health problems:
- Constipation
- hHeartburn
- Menstrual cramps
- Nausea
- Upset stomach
- Caraway is also said to act as a carminative, which is a substance that prevents the formation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract. By inhibiting gas formation, caraway is thought to prevent bloating (and, in turn, keep your stomach from appearing larger after eating).
When used as a carminative, caraway oil is often taken in combination with peppermint oil.
