10 Benefits of Cumin
Cumin Benefit #2: Promotes Digestion
Cumin has been shown to have positive effects on digestion. In some countries, such as Poland, cumin is recommended as a remedy to cure indigestion, lack of appetite and gas. It is also known to increase the bioavailability of nutrients, thus being used as part of superfood blends. Its activity on the digestive system speeds it up exponentially by allowing the liver to release bile in order to help digest fats and nutrients in the gut.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, however no specific treatment has been recommended yet. One study showed that patients with IBS reported improvement in their symptoms after having taken cumin for two weeks. Stool consistency and frequency improved significantly for the patients.
