Every once in a while we all hear about an apparently miraculous natural supplement, packed with a remarkable array of medicinal qualities, and we usually wonder if the claims are true or fabricated. Well, science is quickly unveiling that black cumin seed is one of the most powerful medicinal plants on earth. The therapeutic qualities of black cumin seed have been examined in over 200 scientific studies over the past 40 years.  For those enduring any number of health issues, including skin irritations such as eczema or psoriasis, digestive issues, or impaired immune system function, black cumin seed oil could supply the key to wellness.

“Black cumin seed oil has a long history of use as a natural health and beauty remedy. For thousands of years, across cultures, it has been used to support the immune system, beautify skin, add shine to hair and maintain healthy weight…”

What makes these tiny little black cumin seeds so special? To start, they contain an abundance of essential fatty acids and over a hundred unique chemical compounds. The main compound found in black cumin seeds, crystalline nigellone, is regarded as the primary active ingredient responsible for the seed’s extraordinary health benefits. Black cumin seeds also contain protein, B vitamins, folic acid, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, phosphorous, thymoquinone, beta-sitosterol, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid. All of these elements combine to make black cumin seed a precious and invaluable resource in the world of wellness.

Black cumin seed goes by various names and can be found masquerading under a variety of labels. The seed is often referred to as blackseed, black caraway, and black onion seed, among other titles. Please double check to be sure that the scientific name, Nigella sativa, is clearly displayed on whichever oil product you are purchasing, to ensure that it is indeed true medicinal black cumin seed oil.

The historical records referencing the restorative properties of black cumin seeds date back thousands of years. In fact, the Prophet Muhammad referred to the black cumin seed as “a remedy for every illness except death.” There are numerous other references to black seeds throughout history – Cleopatra was rumored to use the oil as a beauty enhancing tonic, and black cumin seeds were said to be discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun.

Now let’s dive headfirst into the various benefits of ingesting black cumin seed oil. This powerful substance has been affirmed to be a natural antihistamine and digestive aid, an internal treatment for psoriasis and eczema, and a powerful cleanser for the liver, kidneys, and colon. Studies have confirmed that Nigella Sativa is beneficial for those with autoimmune disorders. The seed’s anti-inflammatory compounds are effective for those with asthma, allergies, sinus infections, or arthritis. The seed also contains powerful antioxidants and consuming the oil has been shown to support the stabilization of blood pressure, detoxify the whole body, and curb obesity. The body’s production of bone marrow, natural interferon, and immune cells have been shown to increase in those who are supplementing with black cumin seed oil. Its antifungal properties further alleviate fungal infections, leaky gut, and intestinal parasites.

Some of the most promising research has been conducted at the Cancer Research Laboratory of Hilton Head Island in South Carolina in 1997. The research exposed a dramatic 50% reduction in the growth of cancerous tumors while demonstrating an increase in bone marrow growth by 250%, without the dreadful side effects often associated with chemotherapy. To supplement internally, you can swallow one to three teaspoons of the oil a day, either by itself or mixed with honey or juice.

Topical applications are shown to provide tremendous health benefits for certain ailments as well. When used directly on the skin, black cumin seed oil can provide a soothing treatment that helps clear up eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and other skin maladies. The oil applied directly to the scalp has been used as a treatment for hair loss for centuries. For dry and inflamed nasal passages, black cumin seed oil can be applied undiluted or can be mixed with a salt-water solution.

For those who are battling debilitating conditions such as cancer, inflammatory, or autoimmune disease (such as Crohn’s or colitis), taking a daily dose of black cumin seed oil could greatly improve quality of life.
