What Are Carom Seeds (Ajwain)?

Carom Seeds, known locally as Ajwain, are small, oval-shaped seeds from the Trachyspermum ammi plant. Ajwain is prized in Ayurveda and Unani medicine for its carminative, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. With a sharp, thyme-like aroma, it’s both a culinary spice and a powerful natural remedy.
