A Herb Steeped in History

Ajwain is believed to have originated in the Middle East, possibly Egypt, and is now principally grown across the Indian Subcontinent as well as Iran and Afghanistan. It has long been valued in Ayurvedic medicine and Indian cooking.

Because of its naturally high thymol content, ajowan was even used as an antiseptic during the Second World War before synthetic substitutes took its place.

Harvesting & Extraction

Ajowan essential oil is steam distilled from the seeds (dried fruits) of the plant, a patient process that carries the volatile thymol-rich fraction into the condensed oil. Learn more about how we work on our distillation of essential oil page.
