Caraway aids digestion

Caraway seeds and their oil are also used in a number of medicinal preparations for treating disorders such as rheumatism, eye infections and toothaches. Caraway promotes gastric secretion and stimulates appetite. It breaks down spasms in the gastrointestinal tract to prevent flatulence.

In the Kitchen: The roots may be boiled and treated like cooked parsnips or carrots. The young leaves can be used in salads or for seasoning soups and stews. The licorice flavored seeds give rye bread its characteristic taste but are also good in potato soup, cheese spreads, sauerkraut and salad dressings.

The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the crushed fruit. Caraway oil is colorless to pale yellow, with a strong, warm, sweet-spicy odor, and blends well with other spicy oils. Learn More

Plant Description
Koehler's Medicinal-Plants 1887 The familiar seed that adorns dark rye bread is a member of the carrot family, and has tiny while or red tinged flower clusters. Each "seed" is half of a caraway fruit is used whole or ground in cooking and herbal medicine. All parts of the plant are edible, roots, leaves and seeds. Native to Africa, it now grows wild over most of North America.
Astrology:
This is also a Mercurial plant. Caraway seed hath a moderate sharp quality, whereby it breaketh wind, and provoketh urine, which also the herb doth. The root is better food than the parsnips; it is pleasant and comfortable to the stomach and helpeth digestion. ^{Nicholas Culpeper}
