Black seed oil is extracted from the seeds of Nigella Sativa, a plant native to southwest Asia (commonly called black cumin). Also known as black cumin seed oil or kalonji oil, nigella sativa oil is an amber-hued oil used in cooking and is proven to offer a range of health benefits. One of the key components of black seed oil is thymoquinone, a compound unique to its kind, with high antioxidant properties, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic and anti-cancer. Health enthusiasts have dubbed it as "a cure for everything except death".
Uses for Black Seed Oil
Black seed oil is touted as a remedy for conditions such as allergies, asthma, diabetes, headaches, high blood pressure, digestive disorders, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Commonly, black seed oil is taken to boost immune system, reduce inflammation, and fight infections. The oral oil is used topically on skin and hair to treat acne, dry damaged hair, psoriasis, hair thinning, and dry skin.
The slightly bitter seeds are used as a flavouring or spice in Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine and are sometimes sprinkled on flatbread, naan bread, or bagels.
The taste of the oil however, can be a bit too strong for some people. We have taken the organic black seed oil to be filled in softgels for easy and convenient consumption.
GUIDELINES TO CONSUME
Once - twice a day, 2 soft gels after meal(s)
Take 2 softgels before meals if meant to treat indigestion and gut problems
Warning: Pregnant women (or women trying to conceive) and breastfeeding women are not advised to take black seed oil. Talk to your doctor if you’re considering the consumption of black seed oil. You should not stop any of your medications without speaking with your doctor, or delay or avoid conventional treatment.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Black seed oil may aid in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, according to a small study published in Immunological Investigations in 2016. For the study, 43 women with mild-to-moderate rheumatoid arthritis took black seed oil capsules or a placebo every day for one month.
The study results showed that treatment with black seed oil led to a reduction in arthritis symptoms (as assessed by the DAS-28 rating scale), blood levels of inflammatory markers, and the number of swollen joints.
Allergic Rhinitis
Black seed oil shows promise in the treatment of allergies. In a 2011 study published in the American Journal of Otolaryngology, for instance, black seed oil was found to reduce the presence of nasal congestion and itching, runny nose, and sneezing after two weeks.
Diabetes
Black seed oil may be of some benefit to people with diabetes, according to a review published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine in 2015. Researchers analyzed previously published studies on the use of Nigella sativa for diabetes and concluded that it could improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels in diabetes models but noted that clinical trials are necessary to clarify the effects.
Asthma
Preliminary research suggests that black seed oil may offer benefits to people with asthma. For example, a study published in Phytotherapy Research in 2017 found that people with asthma who took black seed oil capsules had a significant improvement in asthma control compared with those who took a placebo.
