Carom Seed Benefits: How Oma Kali Enhances Digestive Health
I would like to share one simple functional food mentioned in ancient literature. It's called
"oma kali" in Tamil, also known as carom seed electuary.
To prepare it, you need:
❖ 100 grams of carom seeds
❖ 400 grams of palm jaggery
❖ 100 grams of ghee or sesame oil
Here's the process:
1. Soak the carom seeds in pure water for at least three hours, then grind them
well.
2. Dissolve the palm jaggery in water, filter it, and heat it over low heat until the
solution is viscous.
3. At this stage, add the ground carom seeds first, then the ghee or sesame oil. Mix the
combinations well.
This is a very good medicinal or functional food mentioned in ancient Siddha literature.
It has numerous benefits, some of them are listed below:
❖ Prevents gaseous abdomen and acidity
❖ Prevents constipation
❖ Is effective in gastrointestinal conditions
❖ Enhances the digestive power of the GI tract
❖ Removes toxins from the body
❖ Helps the functions of the liver and kidneys
❖ Is also very helpful for females; it strengthens the uterine muscles, regulates
periods, and prevents polycystic ovarian disease or syndrome.
Therefore, it is a useful functional food. Please prepare and use it.
