7 Effective Uses of Ajwain Essential Oil in Daily Life!



Ajowan or ajwain seeds are brown and tiny seeds emitting thyme-like warm spicy odor. They are derived from the flowers of the ajwain plants (botanical name - Trachyspermum Ammi).  The seeds have been used as a digestive and cold remedy for years. The pale yellow-brown or brownish essential oil is derived from them by steam distillation. Ajowan essential oil is more used for flavor or therapeutic purposes. Its intake strengthens immunity in conditions of cold, flu, viral infections, and cough.

Besides essential oil, ajwain oleoresin is also obtained from the seeds through a solvent extraction method. Both these derivatives of ajowan seeds are used as ingredients in many end products in food & beverages, pharmaceutical, and toiletries. Its thymol content makes it a suitable component for dental products.
