Jeerige kashaya or cumin water recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This jeerige kashaya is an excellent remedy for indigestion and bloating. Jeerige kashaya is prepared using cumin seeds and water. Jeerige kashaya or jeera kashaya is a ayurvedic remedy for gas, bloating and indigestion.
Jeerige kashaya is a very common remedy in my family. When the stomach is upset, or if you are suffering from acute indigestion, try this cumin tea. For me, especially when I eat a lot of fried items, I get mild back pain and body pain due to indigestion. And at that time jeerige kashaya works like a magic for me.
I learnt this kashaya recipe from my Mother-in-law. She consumes this kashaya quite often. You can find 2 more home remedies on this website like kaalu menasina kashaya (or pepper tea) and Tulasi-Veelyadele rasa(Betel leaf + Tulsi leaf + Honey). Both of them for cold and cough related problems.
Do try this jeerige kashaya recipe next time, when you are suffering from indigestion, bloating and gas issues. Since this can be prepared easily using cumin, which is most common in Indian kitchen, you have nothing to loose.
I have made a video on this remedy with Kannada narration, which I have embedded it below. Kindly have a look.
You can also use doddapatre or sambar balli or ajwain leaf for cold and cough. Kindly go through my recipes and health benefits of doddapatre post.

Instructions for making jeerige kashaya:
- Heat a pan and add in cumin seeds.
- Roast the cumin seeds until they start crackling nicely under high flame.
- Immediately reduce the flame and add the water. You should be quick and make sure that the cumin seeds are not burnt.
- Bring it to boil and continue boiling for 5 minutes under low flame.
- Wait for few minutes (the cumin will settle down at the bottom). You need to drink this hot. So pour the kashaya into the cups. You can either strain it or just pour it slowly. We will be discarding the cumin.
- Now you can drink this in 3 differnt ways. First way is to drink it with a pinch of salt...works well for indigestion.
- Second way is to drink it with little butter. When you are suffering from stomach pain (or constipation) and bloating...follow this method. It will reduce the body heat.
- Third way is to drink it with milk. This is helpful when you have lower back pain (or body pain) along with bloating. Do try once it works in my family..it may work for you as well.
