Cumin and fennel are both rich in medicinal properties, offering numerous health benefits when consumed. Drinking them with lukewarm water can further enhance their effects. When asked about their benefits, Ayurvedic Doctor Nandu Prasad shared insights into their properties and the best ways to consume them.
Ayurvedic Doctor Prasad told Local18 that cumin and fennel are commonly used as spices in Indian households and are highly valued for their medicinal properties. They are particularly beneficial for digestive health. While often used to enhance the flavour of food, they can also be consumed in powdered form for more benefits.
Doctor Prasad shared that consuming them with lukewarm water at night provides multiple benefits. They aid in digestion, relieve gas and constipation, promote weight loss, and support eye health.

Cumin and fennel boost metabolism, making them effective for weight loss. They also aid in detoxifying the body by eliminating harmful toxins. Their antioxidant and detoxifying properties contribute to clearer, glowing skin. Fennel seeds contain vitamin A and cumin seeds are rich in antioxidants — both of which support eye health and reduce fatigue.
How To Consume?
Ayurvedic Doctor Nandu Prasad said that to reap these benefits, one should take one teaspoon of cumin and fennel powder with lukewarm water before bedtime daily.
However, if you have any existing or serious health conditions, consult an Ayurvedic expert or doctor before adding it to your routine.
