Caraway Oil is a spicy, warm essential oil extracted through steam distillation from the dried seeds of Carum carvi, a biennial herb native to Europe and Asia. Known for its sweet, earthy, and herbaceous aroma, caraway oil has been used since ancient times in traditional medicine, perfumery, and culinary applications.
Rich in carvone and limonene, this oil is especially valued for its carminative and digestive properties. It is widely used in natural remedies, massage blends, oral care formulations, and flavoring compositions.
