    Default Nigella Sativa / Black Cumin / Black Seed Oil

    Nigella sativa:

    Black seed, Black cumin, Nigella sativa, Kalonji, Schwarzcummel, sinouj, Nutmeg flower, Black caraway, Habba sowda, fennel flower...

    Black seed (Nigella sativa) is considered to be one of the greatest healing herbs of all times. This herb has been used for millenniums to strengthen the immune system, cleanse the body, purify the blood, protect against irritants and support healthy longevity. Long forgotten this herb is now enjoying a positive and welcomed come-back.

    Came across this gem whilst research local herbal medicine, the Babu (Grandfather- translated from Kiswahili) that told me about this one, claims it heals HIV and AIDS within 1 month, used 3 times a day, a teaspoon with honey in a glass of milk or tea.

    I believe Babu as he has already cured HIV-AIDS and will certainly be trying it out in my arsenal of remedies for almost everything.

    It is also a natural Viagra......

    Also known as Black Seed oil, Kalonji oil is very in deman due to its varied benefits. Before, it was regarded as the only remedy for all the sicknesses, which is of course not true, but it does help in bringing relief to many sicknesses, ranging from the most common headaches and colds to the complicated ones like Diabetes.

    Kalonji oil or Black Seed oil is actually used as a food ingredient in Asian countries such as Pakistan and some parts of the Middle East. Besides bringing the Kalonji oil or the Black Seed oil to the kitchen, many people already knew of its curing properties. By mixing it with warm water or with honey is the best way to take this medicinal ingredient, except if the one taking it suffers from Diabetics. Instead, he/she can only ingest Kalonji oil. Besides ingestion, the Black Seed oil can also be applied to the different parts of the body such as the head for those people who are suffering from headaches and migraines, in the ear for people suffering from ear-related problems, on the shoulders and joints for muscle pains, and many others.

    Other diseases that can be cured by this wonderful ingredient include colds, cough, bronchial asthma, cancer (doctor recommendation is still advised before intake,) dandruff buildup in the scalp, menstruation irregularity, dyspepsia, indigestion, stomach upset, epilepsy, eye strain, hair loss, sudden whitening of hair even at a young age, heart ailments, high blood pressure, indigestion, constipation, acne, obesity, psoriasis, nauseating, intestinal worm infiltration and many more. Depending on the condition, this ingredient can also be mixed with other ingredients to enhance its effectivity. For instance, adding lemon to a teaspoon of the oil is good for people suffering from acne and other skin diseases.

    It is advised especially to those people who have complicated ailments that consultation with the doctor is strongly recommended. It is important that the doctor approves the intake or application of this ingredient to avoid allergic reactions that might aggravate the illness. Moreover, the doctor will also tell the person about the proper dosage of the oil.

    True, the discovery of these remedies is a good thing, since these are natural and will not harm the person in any way, even if it does not work at all. However, people should bear in mind that they should not depend too much on these types of remedies. It is still better to prevent anything that will do harm to a person.

    Hey Trail. I just wanted to say I love your sig! Lol

    I think most nature/plant based cures for HIV are wishful thinking. In some places in Africa, they think sex with a child will cure HIV. Desperation drives people to all sorts of things.

    Can you tell us where to purchase this oil?
    Cumin is a very powerful spice and I was wondering about its medicinal properties not too long ago.
    thanks

    here is another page on the topic. It seems to have antimicrobial properties.
    this page also shows its nutritional profile... its powerful stuff!

    Default Re: Nigella Sativa / Black Cumin / Black Seed Oil

    Nigella sativa
    [ny-JELL-luh sa-TEE-vuh]
    Family: Ranunculaceae
    Pharmaceutical Name: Semen Nigellae sativae

    Names: Kalonji; black cumin, black seed, black caraway, devil-in-the-bush, fitch, fennel flower, gith, melanthion, nutmeg flower, nutmeg plant, Roman coriander, Russian caraway, Russian coriander, wild onion seed, ajenuz, black seed, Corekotu, Carnushka (Russian); Schwarzkummel (German); nigelle, cheveux de Venus, faux cumin, poivrette (French); nigella (Italian); neguilla (Spanish)

    Description: Nigella is an annual herbaceous plant, up to 20 inches high, with a delicate erect stem with pinnatisect leaves and laciniate leaflets. The solitary flowers, with five black spotted blue petals, are unmistakable because they are surrounded by an involucre with deeply laciniate, lacy bracts. The fruit is formed of five swollen follicles that contain four tetrahedral black seeds that constitute the spice. The seeds of nigella are 1/8 inch long and jet black with a matte finish. They closely resemble tiny chips of coal and have five distinct points. Nigella has a faint nutty, but bitter taste due to the presence of nigellin and gives out a faint scent of strawberries. This results in it being used for flavoring confectionery and liquors. Nigella damascene should not be substituted for black cumin seeds.

    History and Folklore: The generic name, from Latin, niger, black, and the specific name alludes to Damascus, the region where the plant originated. The Sanskrit names indicate that black cumin was used in India at a very early date. It was also known to the ancient Hebrews, Greeks and Romans. The seeds preceded black pepper as a major spice of the Near East. The seeds of black cumin are thought to be the “fitches” mentioned by Isaiah XXVIII: 25-27 in the King James Bible. The Roman surgeon and herbalist Dioscorides thought that black cumin mixed with vinegar cured dog and crocodile bites. He also recorded that they were taken to treat headaches, nasal congestion, toothache and intestinal worms and, in large quantities, as a diuretic, a promoter of menstruation and to increase breast-milk production. Black cumin was popular in Arabic and Turkish cultures as an ingredient of foods designed to fatten women. The Prophet Muhammad encouraged the use of nigella as a cure for all diseases.

    Constituents: The whole seeds contain 30-35% oil of which over 60% is linoleic acid, with oleic acid next in predominance. The oil is of a semi-drying type. Additionally, the seeds contain 0.5-1.5% essential oil. Other ingredients include: Alanine, arginine, ascorbic-acid, asparagine, campesterol, carvone, cymene, cystine, dehydroascorbicacid, eicosadienoic-acid, glucose, glutamicacid, glycine, iron, isoleucine, leucine, dlimonene, linolenic-acid, lipase, lysine, methionine, myristic-acid, nigellin, nigellone, palmitic-acid, phenylalanine, phytosterols, potassium, beta-sitosterol, alpha-spinasterol, stearic-acid, stigmasterol, tannin, threonine, thymohydroquinone, thymoquinone, tryptophan, tyrosine

    Medicinal Uses: Nigella is considered carminative (relieves gas), a stimulant, and diuretic. A paste of the seeds is applied for skin eruptions. The seeds are antiseptic and used to treat intestinal worms, especially in children. The seeds are much used in India to increase breast milk. The seeds are often scattered between folds of clothes as an effective insect repellent. Alcoholic extracts of the seeds are used as stabilizing agents for some edible fats. In India, the seeds are also considered as stimulant, diaphoretic and emmenagogue. Some of the conditions nigella has been used for include: eruption fever, puerperium (Iraq); liver disease (Lebanon); cancer (Malaya); joints, bronchial asthma, eczema, rheumatism (Middle East); with butter for cough and colic (North Africa); excitant (Spain); boosting immune system, colds (U.S.) A recent study in South Carolina at the International Immuno-Biology Research Laboratory showed that there was some action against cancer cells using nigella plant extract

    The above info is taken from my 2011 Herbalpedia.

    Obviously a well documented and researched medicinal herb. . . . . but hardly a miracle remedy as the OP article suggests.

    There is no miracle plant, herb or cure. I do have complete faith in herbal remedies, but knowledge and wisdom and experience of particular medicinal values in plants and herbs is highly important.

    The author of the article in the OP said, “True, the discovery of these remedies is a good thing, since these are natural and will not harm the person in any way, even if it does not work at all.” This is a huge pet peeve of mine as a practicing medicinal herbalist. Just because something is “natural” does not mean in anyway that it is not harmful. Arsenic is natural . . . . would you ingest arsenic?? Use your common sense . . . . something I fear many are lacking in this day and time.

    If you do want to make nigella oil it is very easy. Take an ounce of the correct nigella seeds (should be flat matte black color only) Not a “liquid ounce” but an ounce in weight. Crack or rough up outer covering of the seed, I use a mortar and pestle. Measure a half a cup of organic olive oil and place oil and cracked seed in a glass jar. Put a crock pot on the lowest setting and set the jar of oil and seeds in the crock pot (do not put lid on the crock pot) So you will be using indirect heat. Let the oil and seeds infuse for several days until the oil changes colors and takes on the smell of the seed, decant and strain and store oil in colored glass containers and out of light.

    I had never heard of this plant/seed before today. Some mighty powerful claims, so it seems to be a good choice for yet another herbal/natural remedy for the home. I'm curious if anyone here has experience with this plant/seed, and if so, let us know what you have found out with your experience.

    Black Seed - 'The Remedy For Everything But Death'

    This humble, but immensely powerful seed, kills MRSA, heals the chemical weapon poisoned body, stimulates regeneration of the dying beta cells with the diabetic's pancreas, and yet too few even know it exists.

    The seeds of the annual flowering plant, Nigella Sativa, have been prized for their healing properties since time immemorial. While frequently referred to among English-speaking cultures as Roman coriander, black sesame, black cumin, black caraway and onion seed, it is known today primarily as black seed, which is at the very least an accurate description of its physical appearance.

    The earliest record of its cultivation and use come from ancient Egypt. Black seed oil, in fact, was found in Egyptian pharoah Tutankhamun's tomb, dating back to approximately 3,300 years ago.[i] In Arabic cultures, black cumin is so known as Habbatul barakah, meaning the "seed of blessing." It is also believed that the Islamic prophet Mohammed said of it that it is "a remedy for all diseases except death."

    I managed to aquire some here in UK at an Asian shop.

    I also asked an Indian gent /owner, in another shop about it and he smiled and said: "Oh yes, we Indians use it a lot, it is very good for you. Take about half a teaspoon at a time".

    I tend to use it in cooking, cannot testify as to its claims though: "It cures everything execpt death!"

    Hi Dennis, yes I have them and take it occassionaly. (Also comes in prepared oil - which does not seem as good IMHO.) I found that it gave me strength amd stamina when walking up hills, my legs easily coped with it. Perhaps also got rid of some brain fog. Weird huh. They are really cheap to buy from Indian cooking shops

    I just moisten my finger and plonk it into the bag in the morning and down with a mouthful of water........they are the tiniest little seeds and can get stuck between your teeth if you swill around your mouth. LOL

    Odd taste - the oil is iccky

    WOW, Dennis, you are an Angel!

    One of my students from Morocco brought me some of these seeds last year. We had mentioned natural medicines in class and my being a botany major and how interested I am in things like that. She didn't know what the seeds were called (even in her language) so I had no idea what they were exactly.

    She told me they were good for when you have an upset stomach: to boil them in milk, that the seeds would get soft, and then to drink them down with the milk.

    I had thought I'd plant the seed to see what came up...but then I never got around to doing it. I definately will be doing that this spring!

    As for the plant, I now know what it is! Thanks so much for this post!

    It's like one of those moments.... I have actually seen these seeds sold for flower gardens here.

    An Irish couch surfer stayed at my place once and had some of this with her. She prepared it by soaking the seeds in water (if I recall correctly), they swelled up to look like frogs eggs and it was eaten with a spoon like porridge, just a small bowl full was quite enough and I did feel pretty reasonable afterwards which was a good sign because I don't always feel great in the morning. Taste was fine. Now that I think of it I think I'll try and get some for myself.

    These black seeds (nigella sativa) sound similar to chia seeds (salvia hispanica).

    I get chia seeds from Hidalgo Foods for about $10 per pound.

    From what I can gather from a quick search, black seeds are about three times more expensive, but have an interesting flavor suitable for use as a spice, whereas the cheaper chia seeds are rather mild and bland tasting, suitable only for use as nutrition.

    Thank you Dennis,

    I was holding a packet in my hand the other day, at my local organic store. I was wondering what they were, and how they were used. Now I know! Off to the store...

    Edit: Back from the store. They really are cheap! Anyone know how to use them?

    Chia (Salvia hispanica) seeds are tinsy winsy:



    I remember having a "chia pet" when I was a child...you could buy a terracotta animal and cover it with the seeds that became gelatinous in water and grow the sprouts like "fur"....lol

    Nigella seeds are a bit larger:



    ...a different plant.

    What your guest prepared were actually basil seeds-- also small and black-- used for digestive problems, as well as to cool down the body. Placed in water, the seeds instantly swell with a gel-like substance, making it look like frog spawn. (I've horrified nephews by gulping down a glassful, telling them it was that. Oh, the fun!)

    Basil seeds are also used, in Asia, in a cooling summer drink called Falooda.

    Thanks !

    Not much larger though ... those two images are not to the same scale ... it seems that chia seeds are about 1.5 mm (longest dimension), whereas the black seeds are about 2.5 mm ... close. I just measured my chia seeds, and they are about the same size as in your image.

    Oh Paul, You're cracking me up. Morningsong's two images might not be to the same scale, but they've both got a ruler in them!

    Exactly . That's how I could call out the sizes in mm.

    I was just alerting those who glanced more quickly that the two seeds were not as different in size as a quick glance might suggest.
