Caraway Seed is a wonderful digestive aid, used to relieve indigestion, upset stomach, gas, constipation, heartburn, colic, and irritable bowel syndrome. Caraway seeds sharpen the vision, promote the secretion of milk, and are good against hysterical affections. They are also useful in cases of colic. When used to flavour cakes the seeds should be pounded in a mortar, especially if children are to partake thereof.
Caraway Seed is famous for improving the appetite and treating conditions of the digestive system, including heartburn, indigestion, colic, nausea, upset stomach and stomach ulcers. It is also considered a harmless calmative. Caraway Seed is considered an antispasmodic and helps to relieve uterine and menstrual cramps. As an effective herbal expectorant, Caraway Seed is said to encourage productive coughs due to colds and relieve bronchitis.
As a further aid to the digestive system, Caraway relieves constipation, expels flatulence and eases the "griping" (pain and grumbling) in the bowels and intestines that frequently accompanies gas. Herbalists consider it one of the most important herbs for strengthening the intestines.
When used medicinally 20 grains of the powdered seeds may be taken in a wineglass-full of hot water. But for children half an ounce of the bruised seeds are to be infused in cold water for six hours, and from 1 to 3 teaspoonfuls of this water given. A poultice of crushed caraway seeds moistened with hot water is good for sprains. Caraway seeds are narcotic, and should therefore be used with caution.
