Indian mothers are also given ajwain water (carom seeds water) to drink after delivery as it is said that it helps in the cleansing of the uterus. Does it really help?

i am not sure if it can cleanse the uterus, but ajwain, or carom seeds, do have a lot of benefits. they can help relieve any body pain, improve digestion, aid in lactatin, prevents acidity and also prevent colic in babies who are breastfed. you can have a look here: http://www.thehealthsite.com/diseases-conditions/top-10-health-benefits-of-ajwain/
