Caraway seeds and oil have properties associated with improving gastric problems, flatulence, and indigestion. Make a tea when mild stomachaches and digestion problems arise and drink up to four cups per day.    

Caraway is safe and effective for relief of colic in young children.  Bruise an ounce of seed and let sit in cold water for about 6 hours.  Sweeten with sugar or honey, if desired, and give 1-2 teaspoons up to 4 times per day.  

For earache, mash the seeds and place in a hot cloth to be held against the ear.  The seeds can also be pounded into a paste to help heal bruises.
