Black seed oil, or simply black cumin seed oil, contains over 100 active compounds, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pain-reducing properties. The most notable active ingredient is thymoquinone.

Black seed oil is quickly becoming the vegetable oil to watch due to its anti-inflammatory compounds that reduce symptoms of asthma, hay fever, and eczema. Additionally, its immune-boosting qualities make it beneficial against colds and flu, as well as for digestive and cardiovascular support, and liver function.

Scientific Research on Black Seed
Since 1959, black seed (Nigella Sativa) has been the subject of over 200 clinical studies worldwide. Six medical patents have been granted for black seed for the following conditions: (Please note that this information is provided for reference and interest only, derived from patent licenses issued by accredited government agencies, and does not in any way indicate or support that our black seed oil should be substituted for consultation with a healthcare professional or appropriate medical treatment).

 

  1. Asthma/Allergies: The powerful anti-inflammatory compounds in black seed mitigate symptoms of asthma and allergies. (Pulm Pharmacol Ther. 2009)
  2. Viral and Bacterial Infections: Salmonella's resistance to antibiotics is a global health issue; one study aimed to develop an alternative. Black seed proved more effective against Salmonella, even for species where ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin were ineffective. (Nat Prod Res. 2014).
  3. Immune Function: Several peer-reviewed studies demonstrate that black seed oil helps alleviate respiratory illnesses, including viral infections, colds, and flu, by stimulating the activity of our "natural killer" cells.
  4. Diabetes: Black seed helps balance blood sugar and has been shown to be effective in treating type 2 diabetes due to its ability to improve insulin sensitivity. (Saudi Arabia, Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr. Study 2010 and 2011 at the University of Montreal).
  5. Psoriasis: Nigella Sativa extract produced results equivalent to the standard drug, tazarotene, used against "skin rashes." It also helps prevent psoriasis from spreading, similarly to drug treatment. (Pharmacogn Mag. 2012).
  6. Cancer: Dozens of recent cancer studies in reputable publications, including the International Journal of Immunopharmacology (2005), Oxford's Digestive Disease Sciences journal (2009), and the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2011), indicate that black seed supports macrophage cell function and assists T-cells in cancer patients.
