Organic Steam Distilled Ajowan Essential Oil from India

Ajowan essential oil contains some of the strongest anti-viral constituents known in the plant world. It is currently being tested as a possible treatment for Ebola virus. It is also known to be effective against many viruses, including yellow fever and various hemorrhagic fevers.

Energetically, ajowan essential oil helps bring suppressed anger up to the surface to be released. It is very helpful for people who have learned to suppress anger so well that it has become physical, as in the case of cancer and tumors.

Often these people feel no anger in their lives at all, or feel no anger when they ought to feel it, yet it comes up like a volcano over something small or insignificant. Ajowan will help reconnect us to our anger so we can release it in a positive way.

Observations and Anecdotal Information

Because of its anti-bacterial and anti-infectious properties, Ajowan has long been used by many herbalists and healers as a natural first aid kit necessity.

Ajowan has also been used traditionally for healing asthma (through inhalation), heart issues, toothache, earache, colds, flu, parasites, and arthritis. It has also been used effectively to dissolve kidney stones, minimize the effects of intestinal bacterial infections (including cholera), and as a parasiticide against all kinds of worms, including thread worms.

An ancient Ayurvedic medicinal and culinary herb, ajowan was traditionally used to enhance digestion. The diluted essential oil, used alone or combined with fennel, anise or cumin, can completely relieve the worst cases of gas, bloating, heartburn, or indigestion. For this purpose, we recommend using just two to three drops of ajowan in a cup of hot water, sweetened with honey. Sip on it gradually; most people will notice an improvement momentarily.

It also supports weight loss, and makes a spicy addition to many Indian culinary dishes. The flavor of ajowan is intense for most western palates, so it will need to be used sparingly, or by adding a sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. It can also be combined with fennel to help soften and sweeten the flavor.

Throat Spray Recipe

It makes a wonderful throat spray for sore throats and Strep throat infections.

To 1 ounce of pure, filtered water, add 5 drops ajowan, 3 drops cypress essential oils. Then add 5 drops stevia extract, and shake the bottle. Pour the mixture into a small 1 ounce spray bottle, and spray the liquid directly into the back of a sore throat. The pain should start to subside and you should start to feel immediate relief.
