Take a small pinch of seeds after a meal.

Lightly dry-roasting the seeds brings out the sweetness.

Served at the door of many South Asian restaurants for exactly this reason.

This is a historical and cultural reference, not medical advice. Many of these remedies have never been scientifically validated, and folk reasoning (humoral theory, “hot/cold” classifications, spiritual causation) reflects older explanatory traditions rather than modern medicine. Ratings reflect community opinion, not clinical evidence.
