Black seed oil – a prophetic medicine?

"Black cumin cures every disease - except death," the Islamic prophet Mohammed shared this belief more than 1300 years ago. Since then, this spice has been of particular importance in Islam and is now also used worldwide as a household remedy for many everyday ailments. 

Historically, black cumin has been used as a valuable medicinal herb and is also known as the “gold of the pharaohs”.

The herbal remedy is said to have a very potent antibacterial effect and is rich in thymoquinone, which ensures the pharmacological effectiveness of the medicinal plant.

The main components of black cumin oil are unsaturated fatty acids, which are essential for our body and can have a positive effect on our health. Unsaturated fatty acids can also help our body absorb vitamins better. 

According to various studies, the prophet's quote can be trusted, because various studies have shown that black cumin can have many positive effects. It is said to have a pain-relieving effect, is anti-inflammatory and is generally ideal for strengthening our entire immune system. Black cumin can even work wonders for acne, neurodermatitis and allergies.

So the question now is: What can’t black seed oil do?

Black cumin oil is now being heavily hyped, especially on social media, which is why there are many manufacturers who sell black cumin oil in every variant.

What can you pay attention to as a consumer?

Not every black cumin oil is worth the hype, so you should make sure that the product is of high quality, meaning: The black cumin oil should only be natural so that a high bioavailability is guaranteed.

In addition, the production process is just as important because the product should not be affected by light, as this could lead to the loss of important nutrients. 

What is the best way to take black seed oil?

Black cumin oil can be taken either as an oil or as a capsule. However, not everyone likes the taste of black cumin oil, which takes some getting used to, and to make taking it more pleasant, many manufacturers go straight for the capsule form.

It is up to you what time of day you take the black cumin oil, but it is important that you do not take it on an empty stomach, but always with a meal.

Black cumin oil can be used as a treatment or integrated into your daily routine to always pamper your health and, above all, your well-being.
