OMA Uppu (Ajwain Salt)

The Digestive Salt Every Kitchen Needs.

Omam — known as Ajwain in Hindi and Carom Seeds in English — is one of the most potent digestive herbs in the Indian spice tradition. Its sharp, thyme-like aroma and intense flavour have made it a staple in Tamil kitchens and Siddha medicine for centuries. Combined with natural rock salt, OMA Uppu becomes a powerful, flavourful seasoning that does far more than just add taste to your food.

A pinch of OMA Uppu is the kind of thing grandmothers kept on hand for everything — from seasoning a simple dal to settling an upset stomach after a heavy meal.

Why OMA Uppu?

• Powerful digestive — ajwain contains thymol, a compound that stimulates digestive enzymes and relieves bloating, gas, and indigestion almost instantly
• Relieves acidity — one of the most trusted traditional remedies for acid reflux and heartburn in Siddha and Ayurvedic medicine
• Respiratory support — ajwain's natural compounds help clear mucus, ease coughs, and open airways
• Antimicrobial — thymol has proven antibacterial and antifungal properties that support gut health
• Appetite stimulant — its strong aroma activates digestive juices and stimulates hunger
• Natural & pure — ajwain seeds blended with natural rock salt, no artificial flavours or additives

How to Use

Use as a finishing seasoning on dal, sabzi, chaas, and lentil soups. Add to tempering (tadka) for an instant digestive boost. Stir a pinch into warm water with lemon for a traditional post-meal digestive drink. Excellent as a dipping salt for snacks, pakoras, and fresh vegetables.

For digestive relief, dissolve a small pinch in warm water and drink slowly after meals.

Store in an airtight container away from moisture to preserve the ajwain aroma.

Bold flavour. Gentle healing. The Nattrinai way.
