Chahar Tokhmeh (Four Seeds) is a well-known herbal blend in traditional medicine that has been used for centuries in Iranian culture to promote health and treat various ailments. This mixture consists of four different plant seeds: Qodumeh (Sisymbrium seeds), Barhang (Plantago seeds), Sepestan (Cordia myxa seeds), and Beh Dana (Quince seeds), each possessing unique medicinal properties. These small, nutrient-rich seeds are widely used to improve digestion, treat colds, and even aid in weight loss.
One of the primary reasons for consuming Chahar Tokhmeh is to strengthen the immune system. This herbal combination enhances the body’s ability to fight off illnesses and speeds up recovery from colds. Additionally, it helps eliminate toxins and excess secretions from the body and respiratory tract.
Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, Chahar Tokhmeh can reduce inflammation in the throat, nose, and airways caused by colds. Moreover, when consumed as an herbal infusion, it helps keep the body hydrated by providing essential fluids, preventing dehydration.
