-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cumin is the dried seed of the herb Cuminum cyminum, which is a member of the parsley family. The flowering plant belongs to the family Apiaceae, and it’s native to the East Mediterranean all the way to India.
Both whole and ground cumin seeds, which are found within the dried fruit of the plant, are used for cooking in several cultures, including Indian cuisine. The herb also has many uses as a traditional medicinal plant — particularly because of its ability to help fight infections and aid the digestive system.  
Cumin seeds are yellow-brown in color, with a flat and rectangular shape. The seeds are used for spice because of their distinctive taste and aroma.
When cumin is added to food, it creates a warm and earthy flavor — making it a staple in certain meat dishes, gravies, stews, soups and chili dishes.
Since ancient times, cumin seeds have been used for the treatment of various conditions in healing systems across the world. In Ayurvedic medicine, cumin seeds are valued for their carminative (relieving gassiness), antispasmodic and astringent properties.
Cumin is used to help alleviate mild digestive conditions, gassiness, diarrhea, colic, morning sickness and bloating. Cumin seeds are also known to improve liver function and promote the assimilation of other herbs.
In Iranian traditional medicine, cumin is considered a stimulant that helps relieve gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders. It’s also used to treat toothaches and epilepsy.
In Arabic medicine, cumin seeds are valued for their cooling effect. The seeds are reduced to powder and mixed with honey, salt and butter to soothe scorpion bites too.
Research indicates that in traditional medicine of Italy, Great Britain and the U.S., cumin seeds are used medicinally to soothe digestive issues, reduce inflammation and even improve skin conditions like eczema.
