An ever-growing body of research shows that Nigella sativa, also known as black seed, is a powerful "remedy for everything but death," as they used to say about this medicinal food back in ancient times. One of nature's most powerful healing remedies, black seed, and specifically the oil thereof, has been studied extensively as of late for its ability to fight all sorts of nasty conditions, including MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Helicobacter pylori infection, epilepsy, high blood pressure, asthma, acute tonsillopharyngitis, cancer, and even opiate addiction and withdrawal. To remain aligned with federal regulations, black seed oil cannot legally be touted as something that diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any disease, otherwise it becomes a "drug." Because of this, all of the claims made in this article are for educational purposes only, stemming from published, peer-reviewed science. "This humble but immensely powerful seed kills MRSA, heals the chemical weapon-poisoned body, stimulates regeneration of the dying beta cells within the diabetic's pancreas, and yet too few even know it exists," reads an article summarizing all of the known peer-reviewed and published research on black seed oil.

Can Nigella sativa help you and your family? Have a look at the science

Have a look at the following 16 additional potential health benefits associated with black seed oil, as demonstrated in published scientific literature (once again, the following is what science has found – these are not health claims). See published scientific sources below: 1) Prevents radiation damage: Nigella sativa oil (NSO) and its active component thymoquinone may create a shield of protection around brain tissue affected by radiation-induced nitrosative stress. 2) Protects against heart attack damage: Thymoquinone extract derived from Nigella sativa may protect against damage in the event of a heart attack. 3) Prevents morphine dependence and toxicity: An alcohol extract of black seed may reduce morphine-associated conditioned place preference, a sign of morphine intoxication, dependence, and tolerance. 4) Prevents diabetes-associated kidney damage: Thymoquinone extract may protect against diabetic nephropathy. 5) Prevents postsurgical adhesions: Peritoneal surfaces covered with Nigella sativa oil after peritoneal trauma may help decrease peritoneal adhesion formation. 6) Prevents Alzheimer's-associated neurotoxicity: Thymoquinone extract from black seed may prevent neurotoxicity and A-beta-1-40-induced apoptosis in the cells of diabetics. 7) Suppresses breast cancer growth: Taking black seed extract may inhibit tumor growth and induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) in breast cancer patients. 8) Shows anti-psoriasis properties: Alcohol extract of Nigella sativa seeds may stop psoriasis, which is also how it was used in ancient traditional medicine. 9) Prevents brain pathology associated with Parkinson's disease: Thymoquinone extract may help protect cultured neurons against alpha-SN-induced synaptic toxicity, a type of pathology observed in the brains of patients with Parkinson's and dementia. 10) Destroys highly aggressive glioblastoma brain cancer cells: Brain cancer patients may find healing with thymoquinone extract. 11) Kills leukemia cells: Nigella sativa extract may induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases. 12) Suppresses liver cancer growth: Thymoquinone may prevent chemically induced cancers of the liver. 13) Prevents diabetic pathologies: A water and alcohol extract of black seed at low doses may help to lower blood sugar levels while providing an ameliorative effect on the regeneration of pancreatic islets, suggesting high therapeutic value in the management of diabetes mellitus. 14) Suppresses cervical cancer cell growth: Thymoquinone derived from Nigella sativa may provide anti-proliferative, apoptotic, and anti-invasive properties against cervical cancer cells. 15) Prevents lead-induced brain damage: To avoid the brain-damaging effects of lead exposure, Nigella sativa might do the trick. 16) Kills oral cancer cells: Programmed oral cancer cell death may occur when consuming a thymoquinone extract derived from black seed. There is also evidence to suggest that Nigella sativa is a powerful remedy against the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) as well.
