Cumin
\nCumin, scientifically known as Cuminum cyminum, belongs to the Apiaceae family. It develops in height no more than 30 cm and has white flowers, sometimes tending to pink. The fruit, on the other hand, is an achene and therefore contains only one seed. It is precisely from the seeds of cumin that the famous spice is made. From findings made in various archaeological sites, it seems that cumin and its properties were already known to the populations that inhabited the earth already two thousand years before the coming of Christ.
\nCumin widely used as seasoning or spice in the culinary practices of the Indian subcontinent and other Asian, African and Latin American countries.

Cumin is a good source of energy, vitamin A, C, E and B6, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and minerals such as iron, manganese, copper, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. It is also rich in proteins and amino acids, carbohydrates, dietary fiber and a reasonable amount of fats and fatty acids. Consuming about a teaspoon of cumin a day can help you meet your daily nutrient needs.
\nCumin is known for the benefits it offers, more than its flavor, as it helps lose weight, improve digestion and immunity, and treat skin disorders, acne, insomnia, and respiratory disorders. Some studies report that cumin, among a number of other spices, may have a powerful effect in preventing diabetes by reducing the chances of hypoglycemia.

Cumin is at the same time stimulating and relaxing. This property cannot be attributed to a single component alone, only insomnia cannot be attributed to a single cause. However, it is believed that proper intake of vitamins (especially B-complex) and good digestion help induce deep sleep. Some of the components of cumin essential oil are hypnotic in nature and have tranquilizing effects, which also help relieve the stress and anxiety that commonly cause insomnia.

The presence of caffeine (a stimulating agent) and richly aromatic essential oils (disinfectants) make cumin an ideal anti-congestive combination for those suffering from respiratory disorders such as asthma and bronchitis. It acts as an expectorant, which means that it loosens the accumulated mucous membrane and mucus in the respiratory tract, and makes it easier to eliminate them from the system through sneezing or coughing and spitting. By eliminating mucus and phlegm as much as possible, it can inhibit the formation of additional material and help heal the initial condition that led to its formation in the first place.
\nCumin also fights colds. The common cold is a viral infection that often affects our body when our immune system weakens. Again, the essential oils found in cumin act as disinfectants and help fight viral infections that can cause the common cold. Cumin also suppresses the development of cough in the respiratory system since it dries out excess mucus. Cumin is rich in iron and has a significant amount of vitamin C, which is essential for a healthy immune system and prevents infections from forming or getting worse.
