Natural Standard published a new evidence-based systematic review on caraway, a popular culinary spice. Aside from its cooking uses, volatile oil from the seeds is also used in various herbal remedies, including Iberogast® and Enteroplant®).
Most research on medicinal uses of caraway has focused on the treatment of dyspepsia, also called indigestion. However, most studies have used combination products, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of caraway specifically.
Caraway oil may also be beneficial for infant colic, irritable bowel syndrome and gastroesophageal reflux, and it may have bactericidal activity against Helicobacter pylori, although evidence of effectiveness is limited.
To learn more about caraway and its potential medicinal uses, please visit Natural Standard's Foods, Herbs & Supplements database.
