What other people think

'Cumin is a good aperative, a digestive aid and carminative. The essential oil is a digestive, stimulant and tonic, and helpful when the digestion is sluggish. It is antispasmodic and using it for a gentle massage of the abdomen will relieve griping pains caused by flatulance and diarrhoea' - an excerpt from Aromatherapy an A - Z by Patricia Davis.
