Hing
Store in a room temperature
Hing, also known as Asafoetida, is a pungent, aromatic spice derived from the resin of the roots of the Ferula plant, which belongs to the carrot family. Native to Iran and Afghanistan, hing has been used for centuries in Indian cooking and Ayurvedic medicine.
In its raw form, hing has a strong, sulfur-like odor, often compared to rotting garlic or onions, but when cooked, it transforms into a savory, umami-rich flavor that enhances dishes with a smooth, garlicky depth. It's especially valued in vegetarian Indian cuisine as a substitute for onion and garlic, particularly in lentils, curries, and pickles.
Aids Digestion
Hing is best known for its digestive properties. It helps relieve bloating, gas, constipation, and indigestion by stimulating the secretion of digestive enzymes and reducing flatulence.
Relieves Abdominal Cramps
Due to its antispasmodic nature, hing helps reduce stomach pain, menstrual cramps, and intestinal discomfort, especially in conditions like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
Anti-inflammatory Effects
Hing has natural anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate joint pain, swelling, and other inflammatory conditions in the body.
Fights Respiratory Issues
Hing acts as a natural expectorant, making it useful for treating cough, asthma, bronchitis, and chest congestion. It helps loosen mucus and clear the respiratory tract.
Lowers Blood Pressure
Hing contains compounds that help relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, which may help lower blood pressure levels.
Improves Menstrual Health
It can help balance hormones, reduce menstrual pain, and regulate irregular periods due to its anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning effects.
Supports Heart Health
Hing helps reduce cholesterol levels, improves blood circulation, and may prevent blood clotting, promoting overall cardiovascular health.
Antimicrobial Properties
Hing has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal qualities that help fight off infections and support a healthy immune response.
Natural Mood Enhancer
Hing may have mood-lifting properties and has been used in traditional systems to combat mild depression, fatigue, and anxiety.
Helps with Flatulence in Infants
A small amount of hing mixed with water is often applied to an infant’s navel area externally (not consumed) to relieve gas and colic pain.
