Ajowan - 10ml

Ajowan, also known as Ajwain Oil, is a potent and spicy-scented oil distilled from the seeds of the Trachyspermum ammi plant. Revered in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, this essential oil is prized for its powerful therapeutic properties. With a warm, herbaceous aroma reminiscent of thyme, Ajowan Oil is rich in thymol - an active compound known for its antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral qualities. It has been used historically to treat respiratory conditions, digestive issues, and infections.

Ajowan supports respiratory health by relieving congestion and easing symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and colds when diffused or used in steam inhalation. It also acts as a digestive aid, stimulating the appetite and helping with indigestion, bloating, and cramps when applied topically with proper dilution. Due to its strong antimicrobial properties, it is frequently used in natural cleaning products and skin-care formulations targeting acne and inflammation. However, it should always be used with caution and diluted properly, as its potency can cause irritation in sensitive individuals. Aromatically, it energizes and purifies, making it a powerful addition to blends intended to uplift the mind and clarify the senses.
