Internal Benefits of Seeraham(Cumin):-

• Digestion: Cumin is extremely good for digestion and related problems. 
• Piles: The main cause behind piles (hemorrhoids) is constipation added with infections in the wound in the anal tract, which are also caused by constipation. Adding cumin to your diet also helps in healing infections or wounds in the digestive and excretory system and speeds up digestion as well.
• Diabetes: cumin can be a very powerful tool in the battle against diabetes. 
• Insomnia: This is a very peculiar property of cumin. It is a stimulant as well as a relaxant at the same time.

• Lactation: Cumin is rich in iron and thus very good for lactating mothers as well as for women who are undergoing menses or who are pregnant since they are more in need of iron than others. Moreover, cumin is said to help ease and increase the secretion of milk in lactating women due to the presence of thymol. 
• Anemia: cumin has very rich in iron (more than 66 mg. in every 100 grams) which is more than 5 times the daily requirement of iron for an adult. The amount of iron in cumin leads to increased hemoglobin production and subsequent prevention of anemia.
