I use the seeds to make a tincture since the seeds are touted to heal anything but death I figure that as a tincture
taken daily (or when I remember to) no telling what the health benefits could be. Cover the seeds in a glass jar with Alcohol no less than 40% proof and shake every now and again for up to 2 weeks, the alcohol will draw out the medicinal benefit and suspend it and you can put it in a tea to burn off the alcohol or use it as a tincture and enjoy watching to see what health benefits you notice. Have fun!

Check out Penzey’s Spices (www.penzeys.com) for common and exotic culinary spices. They have both Nigella (under Charnushka) and Ajwain seeds, plus a ton more! If they have a store near you, it’s a treat just to walk in and sniff!

You can find ajwain (ajowan) at an Indian grocery store…along with tons of other spices, all at very reasonable prices. I wish we were neighbors so I could give you some of mine, since I will never use it all!
