Cumin

Small description

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to the Irano-Turanian Region. Its seeds – each one contained within a fruit, which is dried – are used in the cuisines of many cultures in both whole and ground form. Although cumin is thought to have uses in traditional medicine, there is no high-quality evidence that it is safe or effective as a therapeutic agent.

The history of the healing properties of sedana dates back to ancient times, as evidenced by the discovery of black sedana seeds in Neolithic and Mesolithic excavations. Nigella was used as a medicinal plant by Hippocrates, Pliny, and Dioscorides. In his book "The Canon of Medicine", Ibn Sina called black cedar "a seed that stimulates the body's energy and helps to recover from depression and fatigue."

Nowadays, the popularity of annual grass Nigella Sativa, or more precisely, its seeds, has increased significantly. This is not surprising, because the healing properties of nigella - sedana have been known since ancient times due to the absence of side effects typical of synthetic drugs and especially antibiotics.
