The New Craze - "Black Seed Oil"

Today I am starting my first dose of Premium - Amazing Herbs - BLACK SEED - 100% Pure Cold Pressed Black Cumin Seed Oil.

My dietitian said, " Make sure you eat directly after taking, mostly because of the lingering taste." I must agree - it does linger.  But, if you're looking to get healthy - good taste is not always an option.  Besides, if it taste sweet, you then have to wonder - what was added to make it taste better.......which is not always beneficial.

I asked her what was so great about this product - she said, "In ancient times it was considered to cure everything accept death!"

Well, I was sold.

 

It appears a lot of research has been collected on this oil and its benefits.

There are a lot of varieties of black seed. 

This topic is based on, "Black Seed".  My interest peeked when a co-worker of mine and her husband started using, all she can do is rave about it.  So, I thought, I'll give it a whirl and see what benefits I reap.

Hmmmm, what are black seeds, and where do they come from?

It is a tiny black seed (hence the name) it is thick in shape and slightly curved. Its texture is rough which helps collectors to identify them - most are cumin seed.  The seeds are squeezed and compressed to get the oil.

Black Cumin Seed Oil referred to Black Coriander as well, comes from the Nigella Sativa plant which is native to Asia, North Africa, and the Mediterranean part of Europe.

There are many ways to use black seed oil, from orally to topically.  Here is a quick list of ways to take black seeds:

• Add the black seeds to bread, food and pastries
• Boil water with black seeds (not oil, actual black seeds) let simmer and then consume
• Consume just a teaspoon of black seed oil - which are the directions on my oil purchased
• Consume black seeds plain
• Mix a teaspoon of black seed oil with honey - to help with the lingering taste

Here is a list of black seed oil properties:

• Anti-bacterial
• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-oxidant
• Anti-fungal
• Anti-cancer
• Anti-asthmatic
• Anti-histamine
• Anti-viral
• Anti-coagulant

It seems the two most potent chemicals found in black seed are Thymoquinone and Thymohyudroquinone, which make black seed oil such an effective remedy - because these two compounds are the main elements responsible for the credit of its wonderful healing effects. 

These two compounds assist in your body's immune system directly, giving it the aid, where ever needed. They are powerful anti-inflammatory compounds!

Thymoquinone – An active ingredient in black seed, researchers have been investigating TQ since the 1960s. It is well known for its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties that have been reported to help with encephalomyelitis, diabetes, asthma and carcinogenesis. Interestingly, thymoquinone acts as a free radical or an effective superoxide radical scavenger, in addition to preserving antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase. Both Glutathione peroxidase and S-transferase are heralded for being major detoxifiers and greatly aid in cellular antioxidant defense systems because they protect the liver from toxins.
Thymohydroquinone – A kin to thymoqinone, thymohydroquinone is one of the most potent natural acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors on the planet. AChE inhibitors are chemicals that stop enzyme activity, which increases the amount of time and the amount of the neurotransmitter acetylecholine remains active in the brain. To give you an idea of their usefulness, pharmaceutical-grade acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used medicinally to treat a wide range of conditions including:

• Apathy
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Autism
• Glaucoma
• Dementia
• Myasthenia gravis
• Neurodegenerative conditions
• Postural Tachycardia Syndrome
• Schizophrenia
• Parkinson’s disease

All I can say is, "WOW!!"
