Ajowan oil is a pungent oil having a tradition rooted in Ayurvedic medicine. It has historically been used as a remedy for digestive disorders, toothache reduction, antiseptic applications, and analgesic (pain relieving) functions. Ajowan contains over 50% Thymol, a naturally occurring biocidal agent that results in a particularly potent oil with antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
The pain relieving properties of Ajowan essential oil promotes restful sleep, soothe sore and aching muscles, and numb toothaches. The antiseptic qualities make Ajowan ideal for cleaning wounds and purging bacteria, most notable fungal infections. All these properties combined cleanse the mind and help to surmount mental exhaustion.
Ajowan essential oil is suitable for cosmetic applications, soaps, aromatherapy, and personal care formulations.
