Mix the crushed seeds together and put 2 teaspoons ofthis seed mixture in a cup. Bring the water to the boil and pour into a cup.
Leave to infuse for 10 minutes, then strain and drink unsweetened.
Store the remaining seed mixture in a cool, dark, dry place until you need it again.
A cup of tea made with garlic cloves, parsley, chive and cayenne pepper can boost energy levels as parsley has stimulating properties and cayenne pepper stimulates circulation
WHY WE BELIEVE IT WORKS
The essential oils found in caraway seeds are known to have antioxidant, digestive and carminative (anti-flatulence) properties.
Aniseed and star anise both contain an essential oil called anethole which has strong antimicrobial qualities.
It can also improve digestion and ease flatulence.
Fennel seeds have similar properties to aniseed and can also help to treat flatulence. Fennel seeds are antibacterial, antispasmodic and anti-inflamatory.
