Kali Jeeri (also known as Kalijiri or Kaali Jeeri), often referred to as Bitter Cumin, is a plant predominantly cultivated in India and Southeast Asia. The seeds are characterized by their brown color and intensely bitter flavor, making them hard to consume raw. Traditionally, these seeds are used in classical Ayurvedic formulations.Kalijiri seeds are advantageous in treating respiratory conditions like asthma due to their bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory attributes. They are also beneficial for vitiligo as they support melanin production. In Ayurveda, Kalijiri is a key component of creams and oils for managing skin infections due to its antibacterial properties. The seeds' antioxidant content aids in wound healing by accelerating wound contraction. According to Ayurveda, applying a paste of Kalijiri seeds mixed with Neem or Coconut oil promotes quicker wound healing owing to its Kashaya (astringent) quality.
