Asafoetida
Asafoetida or Hing is an indispensable part of the Indian cuisine, as it carries a pleasing aroma and flavour that can turn a boring dish into the delicious one. The aroma comes from the latex gum that extracts from one of the various species of a perennial herb known as ferula. Asafoetida or Hing is an old age spice that is used as a medicine for stomach and gastrointestinal problems including gas, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), intestinal worms and flatulence from so many years.
Hing or Asafoetida is useful for respiratory disorders such as Asthma, Bronchitis, Emphysema, Pneumonia, Lung Cancer, etc. People who are suffering from low blood pressure should add asafoetida in their food, as it works as a natural blood thinner and controls the blood pressure level. Females having menstrual pain during their periods can have asafoetida to get relief from the pain and cramps in their lower abdomen and back.
Turmeric
Turmeric falls under the list of those spices that rule all the spices because it stimulates your immune system plus, benefits for your overall health. Turmeric is a rhizome flowering plant and a member of the ginger family which contains a strong antioxidant pigment called curcumin. Basically, curcumin is the one which has the ability to reduce inflammation, fight with depression and several mental illnesses (such as mood disorder, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, personality disorder, etc.)
You can use it for your skin related problems too, as I said that Turmeric curcumin benefits for your overall health. So many people use antioxidant properties of turmeric to heal their wounds and pain from thousands of years. You can get the beautiful yellowish colour in your food by adding a small pinch of turmeric while preparing your food. Moreover, you can take it with milk for half an hour before going to bed.
Caram seed
Caram seeds or should I say Ajwain is an herb which is also known as Trachyspermum Ammi. These seeds are present in every Indian kitchen the most common spice used in Southern Asian food especially Indian cuisine. Caram seeds are quite similar to cumin seed in taste and aroma having a light green to brown shade with little bitter taste. We all had ajwain water for stomachache during our childhood, as it is a good remedy for stomach and used from ancient times as a natural remedy.
Carom seeds are rich sources of fiber, antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for overall health. Having carom seeds will help you to detoxify and protects your body from harmful toxins. If you will regularly drink ajwain water in the morning, trust me it will help you to get better digestion and you may excess body weight too.
However, the above are few spices that come directly from your kitchen, I hope this blog post will help you know the hidden benefits of spices and herbs as well. Even health specialist advice must add above spices in your routine and leverage the medicinal benefits for a healthier life. If you are not able to have a balanced healthy meal, then you should go for health and fitness supplements, which will help to recharge your body with the necessary nutrients.
For overall health care, I would suggest you take Fish Oil Omega Gold Supplements or Turmeric Curcumin capsules available at the website of Healthy Naturals. These supplements will help you to boost your immune system and keep you healthy and fit.
