What is Black Seed?

 

An annual herbaceous plant, nigella sativa is planted in the winter,
flowers in the spring and is harvested in the early summer for its jet-black seeds

 

Black cumin seed, or black seed for short, is believed to be native to the Mediterranean region but has been cultivated into other parts of the world including the Arabian peninsula, northern Africa and parts of Asia.

 

The plant has no relationship to the culinary kitchen herbs, cumin or caraway.

 

Nigella sativa and its black seed are known by many names.  The ancient Persians knew it  as Shonaiz.
The many uses of black seed earned it the Arabic title “habbatul barakah”, which means "the seed of blessing." The common English name is "Love in a Mist" and it is known in other places as Black Caraway, Schwarzcummel, Kalonji, Sinouj, Ketsah, Habba sowda. Whatever the name, this is a legendary medicinal herb of ancient usage with considerable modern credence.

 

Nigella sativa, Black Cumin, the “seed of blessing”, is considered to be one of the greatest healing herbs of all times. It has been used for millennia to strengthen the immune system, cleanse the body, purify the blood, protect against irritants and support healthy longevity.

 

A principal active ingredient in black seed, crystalline Nigellone, was first isolated in 1959 and identified as providing many health benefits. Clinical trials have validated the efficacy of black seed in promoting health and wellness.

 

Black Seed Benefits

 

Since 1959, over 200 studies have been carried out at international universities and articles published in various journals have shown remarkable results supporting its traditional uses.

 

The Nigella Sativa seed itself contains numerous esters of structurally unusual unsaturated fatty acids and the chemical composition is very rich and diverse. Apart from its active ingredient, crystalline nigellone, it contains 15 amino acids (including eight of the nine essential ones), carbohydrates, fatty acids including linolenic and oleic, volatile oils, alkaloids and dietary fibre, as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, sodium and potassium.

 

Recent research on the black seed as an anti-biotic, anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory, anti-histaminic, anti-bacterial, anti-bronchial and immune boosting agent has shown great promise.

 

Many of our health problems have similar causes - infection by micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi. Black seed is effective at treating the body as a whole and fights the actual cause rather than the symptoms as is the case with conventional allopathic medicine.

 

Black seed regulates the immune system and is excellent for treating allergic and hormonal diseases.
It supports metabolism, improves digestion, and lowers blood sugar levels, yet provides quick energy.

 

It is used to dispel worms and parasites from the intestinal tract.

 

It soothes bronchitis and coughs, improves body tone, calms the nervous system, encourages hair growth and retards hair fall out, prevents skin wrinkling, and much more.

 

It stimulates menstrual periods, increases the flow of breast milk, increases sperm count.

 

As an adaptogen, Black Seed is an agent causing adaptive and balancing reactions in many metabolic areas.

 

Traditional Uses of Black Cumin Seed

 

Black Seed has been traditionally and successfully used in Middle and Far Eastern countries to treat ailments such as bronchial asthma, bronchitis, rheumatism and other inflammatory diseases, digestive disturbances, support the immune system, promote digestion and elimination, and fight parasitic infestation.

 

The oil has been used to treat skin conditions such as eczema and boils and is used topically to treat cold symptoms. (More details on our Traditional Uses page)

 

Black Seed’s Nutritional Value

 

It is rich in fatty acids, particularly the unsaturated and essential fatty acids (Linoleic and Linoleic acid). (Essential fatty acids cannot be manufactured by the body, and therefore we acquire these from food.)

 

Monosaccharides (single molecule sugars) in the form of glucose, rhamnose, xylose, and arabinose are found in the black seed. The black seed contains a non-starch polysaccharide component which is a useful source of dietary fiber.

 

15 amino acids, including all the essential amino acids, including  Arginine, which is essential for infant growth and well researched for it heart health benefits. (Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized within our body in sufficient quantities and are thus required from our diet.)

 

Chemical analysis has further revealed that the black seed contains carotenes, which is converted by the liver into vitamin A, the vitamin known for its anti-cancer activity.

 

Black Seed is also a source of calcium, iron, sodium, and potassium. Required only in small amounts by the body, these elements' main function is to act as essential cofactors in various enzyme functions.
