 |  Application
 Caraway should be diluted well and applied to the feet or the body.
 
 Aromatic Considerations
 The aroma of caraway is stimulating to the mind, but calming to the nerves.
 
 Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
 Emotionally, caraway is of benefit to those  who were raised in uncaring or emotionally unstable environments. Often  abused or neglected children grow into adults that avoid commitment in  relationships. They fear any form of stability, doubting that such a  thing could be real or doubting their ability to be constant and  consistent themselves. Often, they doubt their own worthiness for such a  relationship. Caraway reinforces the earth meridian’s steadfast  constancy and need to nurture others.
 
 Physical Aspects
 Caraway is particularly useful for digestive  complaints. Caraway alleviates intestinal spasms and encourages  peristalsis. It is used to clean wounds. Caraway rebuilds damaged  tissues and relieves the pain of bruising. Caraway is often included in  formulas for skin and scalp conditions. As a respiratory oil, it is  excellent for clearing infections and mucous from the lungs and the  bronchials. Caraway is said to increase milk production and quality in  nursing mothers.
 
 Cautions
 Like most essential oils, caraway should be diluted when applied to the skin.
