Omam/Ajwain

Omam is a tamil word for Carom seeds/Bishops weed. It is called ajwain seeds in Hindi. Oma water/Ajwain water has lot of health benefits and it is widely used both for cooking and treating digestion problems mainly.

I usually do not store oma water(ajwain water) since I always prefer to prepare it instantly. But, I always have omam in stock. I keep it in air tight container. I use it to prepare health tonic at home for kids.



Oma water can give instant relief to indigestion problems. If you are going to give it to kids, they might resist to drink. You can add little sugar or give it more diluted in that case.

Whenever I posted a home remedy, I used to think about posting oma water as soon as possbile. But it was getting delayed somehow and I am happy that I am ready with the post.

  2. Give 1/2 tsp oma water initially in the morning and check whether there is any negative reaction. You can increase it to 3/4 tsp and then 1 tsp if there is no problem. You can crush very little omam seeds and boil it with water. Give only diluted and filtered.
