Ambrette seeds come from an aromatic and medicinal plant native to India. Ambrette seeds are most commonly used today to produce aromatic oil valued for its use in luxury perfumes. Traditionally, Ambrette seeds were often used in Ayurvedic medicine to allay such symptoms as nausea, vomiting, and intestinal complaints relating to Kapha and Vata imbalance. They are also known to sate thirst and relieve itch.
Ambrette seeds have been mixed into coffee for centuries for a soothing stimulant effect. Chewing on a few seeds at a time can soothe an upset stomach and calm digestive spasms. Ambrette seeds can also be burned with frankincense for a fragrant, musky aroma.
