DESCRIPTION
Plant Profile
Trachyspermum ammi, commonly known as Ajwain or Carom, is an erect annual herb from the Apiaceae family. The plant grows upright and has many branches. It usually reaches a height of about 60 to 90 cm. The stem is ribbed and clearly lined. The leaves are soft and feathery and are divided into smaller parts, similar in appearance to fennel leaves. Ajwain produces small white flowers that grow in clusters called umbels. These flowers later form small, oval fruits that are grayish-brown in color. These fruits are often called seeds, but they are dried fruits known as cremocarps. Each fruit has five clear ridges along its length and a strong, sharp smell similar to thyme. Ajwain is believed to have originated in Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean. Today, it is widely grown across South and Southwest Asia. In India, it is cultivated on a large scale, mainly in the dry regions of Rajasthan and Gujarat.
Healthcare Perspective
In Ayurveda, Ajwain is known as Yavani or Ugragandha, which means “strong-smelling.” It is traditionally used to support weak digestion, known as Agni-mandya. The seeds have a pungent and bitter taste and are considered light, sharp, and heating in nature. These qualities make Ajwain useful for balancing Vata and Kapha doshas. When used in excess, it may increase Pitta. Traditionally, Ajwain seeds are used as a strong digestive aid. They help reduce bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. In broader traditional practices, Ajwain is also used to help release trapped gas, a function known as Vatanulomaka. It is commonly used for respiratory comfort, especially for cough and asthma, through steam inhalation or warm compresses. Ajwain is also used for oral hygiene because of its antimicrobial nature. As a warming spice, it is valued for supporting metabolism.
Phytochemical Composition
The strong aroma and activity of Trachyspermum ammi seeds come mainly from their essential oil content, which ranges from about 2.5 to 5 percent. The most important active compound is thymol. Thymol usually makes up 35 to 60 percent of the total oil. Other major oil components include gamma-terpinene, p-cymene, and beta-pinene. Smaller amounts of carvacrol and limonene are also present. Apart from essential oils, Ajwain seeds contain minerals such as calcium, iron, and phosphorus. They also provide dietary fiber and glycosides. In addition, the seeds contain polyphenols and flavonoids. These compounds support antioxidant and muscle-relaxing effects. The high level of monoterpenes is responsible for the seed’s thyme-like smell and its traditional use in digestive and respiratory support.
Precautions
