Common name: Celery seed (E) Sanskrit: Aja-moda Latin: Apium graveolens–Semen(Umbelliferae) As with all members of the Umbelliferae family with their ascendant flower and seed heads, Ajmoda is a digestive ‘lightener’. Its pungency and aromatic nature activate the digestive process and make light work of heavy food. Literally meaning ‘goat’s delight’, Ajmoda is a delicious shrub. posted by herbal guru on 1 December 2010 16:40
