# Carom seeds : benefits
✓ Reduces acidity, indigestion & constipation.
• Whenever we eat something
oily or heavy we often end up
getting stomach aches which
are really unbearable.
• For this purpose, take half
teaspoon of carom seeds and
boil it in half glass of water,
till a considerable light brown
colour is observed (mostly
comes after 5-8 min), and
then drink it. You can also add
some black salt as per your
taste.
• Or if you want even a quicker
method then, take 1/4
teaspoon of carom seed if
available can also accompany
it with black salt which is
known to balance the effect
of ajwain, and swallow it
with water

# Side- effects :----
1. Since, the carom has a hot potency
therefore, a higher intake on a
regular basis can cause acidity and
excessive gastric release in the
stomach.
2. Due to its hot potency, it is advisable
to use it in small quantities. And, an excessive intake may cause burning
sensation or even heartburn. On it's
severe scenario, it may lead to
dizziness and nausea.
3. If taken in high amounts, it raises
body temperature, thus leads to
ulcers as well.
