Ajwain — A natural remedy for cold that works!

Here’s how I used ajwain to get rid of cold.

Winters are the time of the year when I get cough and cold. This time when I cold along with a runny nose, I had no other option but to try my mom’s home remedies to fight cold. And to my surprise, it worked.

How to use ajwain for cold?

Take a teaspoon of ajwain or carom seeds. Dry roast these seeds for 2 – 3 minutes on a pan. Once the seeds start giving out fumes or strong fragrance, switch off the gas. Add all the seeds in a clean cotton cloth and tie it to make a potli. Now, inhale the fumes of the seeds by keeping the potli close to your nose. Do this for 10 – 15 minutes or till you feel the pungent fragrance of the seeds. Repeat the process for three to four times a day to get rid of a cold in a day or two.

Ajwain is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which not only relieve chest congestion but also help you to deal with cold and sinusitis. So if you have headache along with cold, this remedy can help.

Note: Ajwain has a strong fragrance, so be careful. Also, make sure that the potli is not too hot as it can sting the skin on the nose. Use it when it is slightly warm and not too hot.
