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

According to legend, the very first dragon appeared to the mythical emperor Fu-Shi in order to right several wrongs that had occurred at the hands of the monster Kung Kung. He was said to have rent a huge hole in the sky, and was a terrible presence who had to be stopped. Luckily the dragon filled in the hole and set the tone for how the world would function for the rest of time. The rhythms by which it lived its life – sleeping, waking, breathing, eating, flying – resulted in the creation of day and night, seasons and weather, and all the familiar patterns we recognize today.
