Strengthens bones

Cumin contains nutrients and minerals important for bone structure, strength and mobility. 

These are calcium, vitamins A and B12, potassium and magnesium.

However, it also contains estrogenic compounds that help treat osteoporosis.

Cumin extract may even reduce bone loss in the elderly and improve bone density.

Lightly fry one teaspoon over low heat, pour 250 ml of water. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat.

After straining and cooling, you can drink the tea.

Cough recipe 

We need:

50 g ground cumin (you can also use whole cumin if you don’t have ground cumin)

250 ml of water

For adults, 1 tablespoon of plum juice 

Preparation:

The cumin is mixed with 200 ml of water, put on the fire and cooked with a slightly open lid for 15 minutes. You should now have a thick, dark mixture in the pot.

Strain the liquid and add another 50 ml of water.

Put back on the heat and bring to a boil.

I don’t know how it is with very young children, but our grandmother gave us this “vitamin” only from the age of about 10.

Adults add 1 tablespoon of plum juice to the resulting mixture. 

Children take one teaspoon of the mixture twice a day, and adults one teaspoon three times a day.

It is enough to take it for a short time, we always got relief after a few doses and only ginger and herbal teas were enough.

The anti-inflammatory effects of cumin are responsible for the rapid onset of action. 

However, when taking this treatment, be sure to drink enough fluids, cumin has a diuretic effect.

In moderate amounts

There is no need to overdo it, and unless your health condition requires it, the optimal intake of cumin should not exceed more than half a tablespoon in one meal, three times a week maximum.

If, on the other hand, you suffer from difficulties, it is recommended to drink cumin tea up to twice a day.
