Black Seed Oil Benefits for Maximum Health and Vitality


The black seed oil benefits are so mind-boggling that many people have never even heard about.  In ancient texts, its seeds are in fact known as 'cure for everything except death'.

It is impossible to write about the complete benefits of black seed oil for maximum health in one place. However, we are going to do our level best.

Cancer Prevention

The use of black seed oil is a powerful strategy to treat many forms of cancer. In 2003, at the Aga Khan University Medical College, Karachi, there was an extensive research on the benefits of black seed oil against cancer. The research stated that it helps in detecting and destroying cancer cells before it endangers the patient.

The overall research concluded that it is an ideal candidate and shows remarkable performance against almost types of cancer, such as:


·        Breast Cancer
·        Colon Cancer
·        Pancreatic Cancer
·        Liver Cancer
·        Skin Cancer
·        Cervical Cancer
·        Brain Cancer
·        Oral Cancer

Researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Centre in Jefferson also confirmed this report. Their studies proved that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, this miraculous oil kills cancer cell at a rapid rate. They had 80 percent success rate with it in their laboratory.

How does it happen?

Well, scientists believe that there is a key mechanism behind its effectiveness.

Thymoquinone

Thymoquinone in the black seed oil is known as a powerful anti-cancer agent. Due to its multi-targeting nature, it counteracts malignant growth, invasion, and migration. Furthermore, it also prohibits proliferation of cancer cells and induces apoptosis (programmed cell death process).

Especially, the process of Apoptosis is quite civil and potent compared to other therapies. It compels a cancer (damaged) cell to commit suicide. Therefore, the cleanup process of the body is much easier, and without side effects.

Diabetes Treatment

To decrease diabetes symptoms, one can trust black seed oil benefits. Because, scientists from the Saudi Arabia's King Faisal University found that the properties of black seed oil reduce fasting and post-meal blood glucose level with efficacy.

For example, after 12 weeks, fast blood glucose levels go down by 56 mg/dl.

The 2009 'Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology' dug deep into this issue too. Their study discovered that it happens by reducing damage to beta cells in the pancreas, which cause the production of insulin.

Once it controls the beta cell damage, it lowers the risk of diabetes.

Apart from this, the thymoquinone found in this oil also increases the sensitivity of liver cells which prevent type 2 diabetes. It aids in the reduction of overall glycosylated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c). And, it performs this while protecting arteries and organs.

On the whole, in diabetes, black seed oil properties help in:


·        Increasing glucose induced secretion of insulin.
·        Improving daily glucose levels.
·        Reducing intestinal glucose absorption.
·        Reducing damage to beta cells in pancreas.
 

Weight Loss

There are endless array of options when it comes to weight loss. But, if you are looking to lose weight quickly, safely, and naturally, black seed oil benefits beat all the over-the-counter pills and products. There is a strong relationship between this oil and fat burning.

The Journal of Ethnopharmacology have also mentioned black seed oil benefits for weight loss. It shows that it has mild anorexic (appetite suppressing) effects.

Therefore, one can say that it is linked with its preventive and curing properties that target your body's immune system.

And, this is supported by another animal study too. 4 weeks of its consumption caused 25% appetite reduction which resulted in significant weight reduction. 


But, as we have mentioned before, it also has effects against elevated levels of fasting blood sugar and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). For that reason, it also controls obesity related diseases at the same time.

On top of that, the antioxidant effect removes damaging oxidizing agent in your body too.

In case you are diabetic individual or have glucose intolerance, black seed oil benefits in that condition as well. Its properties reduces:


·        Glucose absorption in intestine.
·        Blood glucose level.
·        Triglycerides.
·        Cholesterol and Hepatic Gluconeogenesis.
 

With these reduction, it also improves glucose tolerance as efficiently as metformin.
 

All in all, it is not a weight loss system; it is indeed a 'healthy' weight loss system even for people with diabetes. It has more potency and safety than many other weight loss products.

Skin Benefits

The blessings of black seed oil nourish, soften, and condition the skin without greasiness. They are quite rich in unsaturated fatty acids with their own exclusive fatty acid profile.

For example, some fatty acids in black seed oil which are super beneficial for skin are:

·        Myristic acid
·        Palmitic acid
·        Alpha linolenic
·        Icosanoic
·        Erucic
·        Lignoceric
·        Oleic acid
 

It is tough to find all these acids in one product.

Particularly, Myristic acid in the black seed oil has its own primary properties. It is a cleansing agent that is lubricant and has a high rate of absorption in the skin. Apart from this, the concentration of this fatty acid is naturally in limit that makes it a perfect solution for all skincare frustrations. Its touch in black seed oil gives you the best skin of your life.

Even scientific studies, and research papers from many universities, back the therapeutic use of this natural ingredient. According to them, black seed oil has many benefits for skin.

For example:

·        It has anti-inflammatory property that effectively reduce acne inflammation.
·        It contain antioxidants that stimulate cell regeneration and thwart free radicals.
·        Vitamin A in this oil aids in unclogging skin pores and improves epidermis layers.
·        Omega-3 fatty acids moisturize your skin and fasten the healing process.
·        Vitamin C improves skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
·        This oil also inhibits melanin production and makes your skin radiant.
In a separate study, it has also been revealed that the regular application of this oil inhibits skin cancer cells too. It delays papilloma formation to control and reverse skin cancer.

Concluding Thoughts

The astounding versatility of black seed oil benefits make it a top medicinal, and natural oil. Whatever scientists & professional researchers have found until now is quite amazing. Only the pharmacological and therapeutic properties are enough to paralyze you with admiration.

This oil is:


·        Anti-inflammatory
·        Anti-allergic

Best Seeds From Where?

Recent research shows that best seeds are kalonji, not Egyptian as written about so much.

Heated or Not?

Research shows that seeds heated between 50c and 150c were able to treat cancer better than seeds over 150c.  Seeds heated at 200c and above were useless as were raw seeds.

Can You Take Black Cumin (Nigella Sativa) with Pharmaceutical Medicine?


You will notice in my writings and in my book (Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Black Cumin and More), that I state pharmaceutical medicine and black cumin should not be combined. 

The reason I state this is so you follow the treatment as prescribed by Prophet Mohammad.  When anyone begins the treatment for black cumin and is hoping for a miracle, then following the way of the prophetic medicine is suggested and recommended.

You can however take the two together and there to this date is no known side effects.  If you are currently taking medicine which your doctor feels is imperative and life threatening then do not give up this medicine until your condition improves.  I personally do not believe in medicine and I believe in faith healings so I do not go to doctors for treatments.


However if my cat is sick, I rush her to the doc, lol. I have seen the miracle of black cumin and I have seen its power and I believe with all my heart in Allah's healing.  I also take black cumin daily so my immune system is in good shape.  By taking black cumin daily you will have the vitamins and nutrients to make you strong and help you fight and all diseases.

Every day there is another story of survival.  I recently read a story or testimony.  I do not agree with his philosophy not to heat the seeds, but instead to take an antacid but his story of survival is inspiring.  Here is what he writes:


In 1998, Nigella Sativa was tested by me on bronchial asthma. I wrote the Hadith(Hadis-i Şerif) above and I started to use it for treating myself. There was an exploration of alternative treatments, though I could not see sufficient benefits. However, after determining by referral how to use it on my family, and after the first clinic in the radiology and imaging examination, I performed the treatments on all chronic patients and those in search of cancer cures.

The number of clinical trials is up to about 4000. In the treatment of different cancers, approximately 300 people were monitored and studied on a regular basis. Almost all have experienced positive results in various measures. The patients varied in ages between 1.5 and 73 years old.

Foreign journals have published articles on the side effects of Nigella Sativa based on different diseases. In these publications, the immune system in both animal and human cellular make-up (such as the activation of T-helper) as well as emunctory (antibodies, etc.), the levels of all balanced elements (immunmodülatör and immunstimulan) have been shown to increase.

Depending on the study, no side effects were reported by the patients. Of interest, the positive effect of Nigella Satuvanum is not considered an alternative form of treatment, but mainstream, especially when it is recommended that patients do not disrupt the course of their treatments.
Treatments must often be applied for a lifetime in the presence of chronic illness. In these patients, who were treated with Nigella Sativa, the complaints of symptoms were monitored. Changes in the doses of the drug were recommended under medical supervision. 

In cancer patients treated with this Nigella Sativa, the prognosis is particularly more beneficial than for those with hypertension and diabetes. In patients with these latter conditions, even with medications, benefits were not noticed. In general for the cancer patients, however, problems with the quality of life were no longer reported.

In order to understand the impact of Nigella Sativa on the shape of the disease over a longer period of time, laboratory results showed that more patients were needed for the study. When we have patients using Nigella Sativa in regular treatment protocols and strategies, the grand scale of experience for physicians and clinicians with research will be possible.

Another major point that should not be ignored is how the influencial effects of the drug are different from individual to individual. This is supported by the results of earlier laboratory and clinical medical research with patients that were admitted to our long-term study were positively recommended on the basis of the study.

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah’s beloved Prophet (PBUH) saying ”There is healing in Black Seed for all diseases except death.”

This article is to inform everyone of the suggested dosage. A few things to keep in mind. Using more black seed does not heal the person faster. Beware of companies selling the blessed seed that suggest large quantities and if using the whole seeds, they need to be heated first.

How to Prepare the Seeds

The seeds have a harsh taste and will burn the stomach if the seeds are not heated first. Place the seeds on low heat and stir them every few minutes.

Anyone wanting to substitute the ground seed for the oil may do so at a ratio of two and one half teaspoons to one teaspoon of the oil. The ground seeds are what was used by Prophet Mohammad.


Part 2 of Dosage Requirements:


Because this is such a lengthy subject, the dosage requirements have been broken into two parts. The first part  went into details of how to prepare the seeds, some warnings and precautions. This part will deal mainly with some more remedies not in the first article. Health Benefits of black seeds are very many including treating cancers.

There are many websites selling black seed oil and the seeds.

As always be careful not to take a large amount of black seeds as it can be toxic in amounts exceeding 25 grams. Follow the recommended dosage and always use the best quality seeds you can find. The most expensive, does not mean the best seeds. Nor does the cheapest seeds mean they are the worse.
