It also contains minerals such as copper, zinc, and potassium. It is very low in saturated fats, sodium, and cholesterol.

–  It can be used for boosting the immune system and reducing food-borne infections.

–  Cumin promotes weight loss and improves blood sugar control and cholesterol.

–  The presence of caffeine, and the richly aromatic essential oils make cumin an ideal anti-congestive combination for those suffering from respiratory disorders such as asthma and bronchitis.

Decoction: Boil 1teaspoon of powder in water for 2-3 minutes and after turning off the heat, leave it covered for another 10 minutes. Strain and drink three times a day. You can also use cumin in various recipes, both in food and in desserts. In small quantities, it is the "hidden" aroma in the food that makes the difference.
Although cumin is generally considered safe to use medicinally, consuming more than the recommended dosage may cause heartburn, or even kidney or liver damage. Cumin may lower blood sugar levels in some, so diabetics should be aware of their intake. Avoid use if undergoing surgery, as it may also affect the blood sugar levels. In any case you should consult with your healthcare doctor before using any herb especially if you’re taking other medications or having health problems.
