When it comes to healthy digestion and soothing the body, you can count on Caraway. Caraway essential oil offers powerful gastrointestinal support when ingested, which means that when life throws you tummy troubles, you can keep calm and Caraway on.
Description
Make way for Caraway! Caraway essential oil comes from the caraway plant, a member of the carrot family and a cousin to dill, fennel, anise, and cumin. Caraway seeds may be small, but these tiny packages yield an essential oil bursting with compounds that offer a range of powerful properties. The distinct aroma comes from D-Carvone, which makes the raw seeds the star flavor of dishes like Bavarian-style sauerkraut, rye bread, and German sausages. Next is limonene, a constituent commonly found in citrus oils that’s known for its cleansing properties. This makes Caraway essential oil an ideal tool for oral care and keeping teeth looking clean.
Uses
Apply one drop of Caraway oil to your toothbrush when brushing teeth both morning and night to help maintain a clean mouth.
Add one drop Caraway oil and one drop Clove oil to water and use as a daily mouth rinse

Directions for Use
