Unveiling the Digestive Delight: Nutritional Benefits of Sweet Mukwas

Packed with a medley of seeds and nuts, including fennel seeds, dill seeds, aniseed, and peppermint oil, this flavourful concoction is more than just a mouth-freshener – it’s a nutritional powerhouse.

Ayurvedic Digestive Aid- Fennel and Dill: 

Central to the recipe of Sweet Mukwas are fennel and dill seeds, renowned for their digestive properties. Fennel seeds, in particular, contain essential oils like anethole, which aids in digestion by relaxing the gastrointestinal tract. Dill seeds, on the other hand, boast carminative properties, reducing gas and bloating post-meal. Together, they form a dynamic duo that supports healthy digestion.

Aniseed: Aromatic Assistance

Adding to the aromatic symphony of Sweet Mukwas is aniseed. Not only does it lend a distinctive flavour, but it also contributes to digestive wellness. Aniseed contains compounds like anethole and estragole, which stimulate digestive enzymes, promoting efficient nutrient absorption.

Peppermint Oil: Soothing Sensation

Infused with the refreshing essence of peppermint oil, Sweet Mukwas offers more than just a burst of flavour. Peppermint oil is renowned for its soothing properties, alleviating digestive discomfort such as indigestion and nausea. Its menthol content relaxes the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating smoother digestion.
