Cumin Seeds Whole

A simple, time-honored herb for daily balance. Warming, grounding and deeply supportive when enjoyed as tea.

Cumin Seeds Whole

Whole cumin seeds have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic wellness traditions as a daily herb to support digestion, warmth and balance in the body. When prepared as a tea, cumin creates a gentle, grounding infusion that is easy to drink and deeply comforting.

In Ayurveda, cumin is valued for its ability to awaken digestive fire (Agni) without overstimulation. As a tea it produces a golden, aromatic infusion with a mild, earthy flavor and subtle sweetness.

Cumin tea is traditionally enjoyed after meals as part of a daily digestive ritual or during seasonal transitions when feeling heavy, sluggish or out of balance

Traditionally, cumin has been used to:
• Support healthy digestion and assimilation
• Help balance Vata and Kapha energies
• Gently stimulate Agni (digestive fire)
• Ease feelings of bloating and heaviness
• Support warmth and metabolic balance

How to prepare Cumin tea:
• Use 1–2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
• Lightly crush or dry-toast (optional)
• Steep in boiling water for 5–10 minutes

Whole Seeds preserve aromatic oils longer than ground spice, they allow gentle extraction for tea and infusions and are ideal for blending with other digestive herbs
