Caraway Oil - It DOES work!!

My darling Wife has always been in tune with seeds & stuff, especially since beating her cancer back in 2008, so I listened when she said "were you aware that caraway Seed Oil is good for releasing mucus?", to which I replied no of course, but then gave it a try for a week, just 3mg dropped onto the tongue before your first morning coffee/tea or whatever, stand the horrible taste for a minute or so before swilling something like concentrated cherry juice round your mouth to clear the taste, then of course, that first delicious swig of fresh coffee!. Well, the effect was evidence by mid-morning on the first day, when just one little 'normal' cough flicked up a globule of the typically horrid white gunk, with NO hacking to reach it. The same applied for a whole week, yielding very little if any coughing during the day at all. However, not being certain if it was a fluke or genuine, & keen to avoid the horrid taste in the mornings, I stopped it. That was a week ago, so this morning, having to accept that I'd regressed to 'hacking & huffing' to clear the gunk, I re-commenced the Caraway Seed Oil, just the 3mg on the back of the tongue again, give it a minute, swish some Cherry juice around, voila, done. 20 minutes later, cough, flob, there it was, effortless gunk release, lovely :-)

So peeps, make sure you check with your Pharmacist if it might conflict with any prescribed stuff you're on, but based on that all I can say is try it, nothing to lose & possible a LOT to gain, as the oil is so cheap!

After reading your comments have been reading of all the benefits of caraway oil. Can you please advise on the one that has been working for you as have looked at the usual websites and so many to choose from. Thanks.

Thanks so much Jagnut for this information. However, I had a look at the Deve Herbes website and it's a lot cheaper ordering direct from India, even with postage cost.

I've just ordered the 10ml size (0.33 oz) which cost £4.70 with the dropper and together with postage the total amount was only £6.24. I paid with PayPal. Delivery times exact same as Amazon.

There were many more oils at very reasonable cost I'd like to try but decided just to order the Caraway to see what customer service is like before buying more.

When I typed caraway seed oil into Amazon was surprised to see most items shown were Black Seed Oil/Cumin which also got good reviews for respiratory/asthma conditions but obviously not the same.

Am looking forward to trying it and would be great to get the same benefit as you.

I used a squeezable dropper full dripped onto my tongue.......not sure I could hack a larger dose than that :-)

Well I am not sure how much that is so dropped 1/2 and 1/2 onto teaspoon with oil, I must say it is pretty yuk, but does away quickly. So will keep this up for a couple of weeks and see how I get on x

Even more confused now, 3mg is 3 one thousands of a gram, must be cutting Crack to have scales that go that low, and you dropped 1/2 and 1/2. off what? If we try to imagine the volume of 1mg would it be more like, the head of a matchstick, a Pomegranate seed or a garden Pea.

One thing i can confirm the taste, put a drop on the back on my hand and gave it a lick, f**k

Thanks Ivan.
