Caraway essential oil is extracted using a low temperature process from Carum carvi seeds (also known as Apium carvi) of the Umbelliferae family. The Umbelliferae family of plants contains over 3000 species dispersed throughout the world. This plant family is well known for its spices which contain fabulous healing properties. Some of the more well known plants in this family are Angelica, Anise, Carrot, and Parsley.

The herb Caraway is traditionally used to treat dyspepsia, intestinal colic, menstrual cramps, poor appetite, laryngitis, and bronchitis. It is known to promotes milk secretion and is considered specific for flatulent colic in children. The essential oil from the seed may benefit cases of bronchitis and colds (through inhalation and chest massages of the oil in a carrier), and may support healing of digestive troubles, particularly weak digestion or difficulty due to nervous tension. Ingestion of the oil in small amounts should be safe; it is considered non-toxic and non-sensitizing, though it should not be used undiluted on the skin undiluted.

Caraway seed is used primarily as a spice in bread, cheese, meat, pickles, sauces and seasonings. The essential oil of Caraway has a wonderful aroma like the fresh seeds: slightly sweet spicy odor with a hint of pepper. Caraway essential oil is a warming essential oil, which helps to relieve mental strain and emotional fatigue, while aiding the digestive and urinary system and clearing the respiratory system. It is also used to help clear skin and scalp conditions. Herbal lore has it that a regular intake of caraway oil is said to protect from all ailments and diseases and keep one healthy and young (the CO2 distillation particularly is likely to have potent antioxidant action).

Essential Oils:

All oils from Ananda Aromatherapy are therapeutic grade, meaning they are produced to the highest quality standards possible. Our essential oils are chosen for their integrity (all chemical constituents important for aromatherapy are intact), ecological 'soundness' (most are organic or wild grown), and wonderful aromas. You may order a sample of any oil before trying larger amounts. Most samples are about .75ml; exotic oils such as Melissa, Rose, Angelica and Jasmine are only a few drops. Ananda Aromatherapy offers wholesale essential oils direct to you. We forgo the use of separate wholesale and retail tiers in order to keep fine therapeutic grade oils accessible to everyone!
