12 Amazing Black Seed Oil Uses That Can Improve Your Health

Do you know about the benefits that black seed oil can have for your body? Check out the different ways you can use it to improve your health.

It’s no secret that going all-natural has limitless health benefits for the human body and mind. Savy consumers are willing to pay the added cost for high quality supplements in order reap the benefits of healthy, organic products. And one of those products is black seed oil. Black Cumin Seed Oil is the subject of hundreds of scientific and medical articles.

Black seeds come from the Nigella sativa plant. Although they appear to be ordinary black cumin seeds with an unremarkable appearance, don’t let their simple looks fool you.

Black seeds’ versatility has made them a marvel in the eyes of many. Black seed use dates back as far as the beginning of the Common Era when they were notably used as a medicine and appear in various religious, historical texts dating to Biblical times.

Researchers have even found them in King Tut’s tomb!

Black seed oil extraction occurs via the compression of the black seeds. The process is performed at low temperatures to preserve the active ingredients in the oil. Consumers can buy black seed oil or extract their own using a mechanical press. Cumin Black Seed is available as raw seed, ground seeds, oils, cream or soap. They can be viewed here.

What Makes Up Black Seed Oil?

Black seed oil is a unique compound made of phytochemicals. These phytochemicals repel harmful substances such as mold and fungus.

Black seed oil’s two main active ingredients are thymoquinone and thymohydroquinone. It also contains thymol.

Thymoquinone

Thymoquinone contains various anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. These properties have helped uses battling asthma, diabetes, and other ailments for centuries.

Additionally, thymoquinone contains anticancer properties that discourage cancer formation.

Thymohydroquinone

Thymohydroquinone is a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It blocks specific enzyme activities, which in turns increases neuroactivity in the brain.

Thymohydroquinone is used to manage a variety of degenerative neuro conditions. Such conditions include Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and even schizophrenia.

Thymol

While it hasn’t been known to combat dementia, thymol is impressive in its own right.

Its multiple therapeutic uses include killing tuberculosis and other viruses as well as acting as a disinfectant. Non-medicinal applications involve working as a degrading pesticide, sanitizing mouthwash, and food flavoring.

12 Health Benefits of Using Black Seed Oil

Black seed oil’s ingredients impress on their own, let alone when consumed as oil. Let’s take a look at some of the uses that benefit your health.

1. Acne Be Gone

Although acne is not life-threatening, it is a degrading disease. Permanent scars, infections, and low self-esteem are among its afflictions.
Acne occurs when your skin’s natural oil clogs your pores, and dead white blood cells gather beneath your skin surface. The result is inflammation of the clogged and clumped-together areas.

Acne ranges in severity from a few small pimples to red rashes and cystic pimples all over your upper half. It is a humiliating condition in part because many people think it’s a result of poor hygiene. It can also be incredibly difficult to cover, especially if it’s severe.

This skin condition has been known to leave pits, thanks to large pimples stretching the skin. Picked acne and acne that opens on its own can lead to the opened areas becoming infected.

Thankfully, oil from black seeds can help with acne. The oil’s anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties ease inflammation and help fight infection. It also leaves skin feeling fresh.

In fact, monarchs of the past have turned to black seed oil to fight skin conditions such as acne. Black seed oil has also helped fight the equally irritating psoriasis and eczema.

2. Healthier Hair

Many hair products on the market contain damaging chemicals that do your hair more harm than good.

Not black seed oil. It contains fatty acids that promote hair growth and strength. For that reason, the oil has been used for a variety of hair-related issues, not just keeping hair shiny and healthy-looking.

For example, it helps with scalp and hair dryness. It moisturizes and strengthens hair strands and skin cells that are drying out and breaking or flaking off. As such, the oil can and has been used to fight hair loss.

Another condition that the oil has been used to combat is premature graying.

3. Diabetes Prevention

Diabetes is a condition caused by an imbalance of sugar in the blood. There are two types of diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes halts the production of blood sugar. People who suffer from Type 1 diabetes experience reduced blood sugar levels. If left unmanaged, a person’s levels could drop so low that the person slips into a coma.

Type 2 diabetes is the far more common type of diabetes. Those who suffer from Type 2 experience high blood sugar levels. They must observe their sugar or risk further health complications, including heart attacks.

Currently, over 100 million Americans have diabetes. While there is no cure for Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 can be reversed and treated with healthy lifestyle changes.

It is better to prevent diabetes from occurring than deal with it once it has developed. That’s where the oil from black seeds comes into play.

The oil can help regenerate cells in the pancreas, the organ that manages the body’s sugar levels. Also, the oil promotes healthy balances of sugar in the body.

4. Weight Loss

One benefit of this miraculous oil that was previously unknown until recently is weight loss.

It’s true that black seeds have few calories in them. But fewer calories isn’t what makes black seed oil help those struggling with their weight.

Like it does with sugar levels, the oil promotes healthy balances in the body. Those balances include cholesterol levels and maintaining the right level of appetite.

Additionally, the oil of black seeds helps boost your metabolism. With a higher metabolism, you won’t absorb as many pesky fats and ingredients that lead to bloating.

5. Allergy and Sinus Management

Allergies and sinus infections develop as a result of weaknesses in our immune systems.

Black seed oil not only provides fast relief for allergy sufferers. It also boosts the immune system, strengthening your resistance to allergies.

Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties help fight sinus infections. Some who’ve used the oil to recover from these infections claim it worked faster than over-the-counter medicine.

6. Cancer Prevention

Cancer is the result of gene mutation in cells. Once triggered, the mutation causes the cells to grow and multiply, resulting in the development of tumors.

The development of cancer cells is triggered by a multitude of things, including radiation, sickness, and cellular injury.

Thymoquinone and thymohydroquinone make black seed oil a natural substance for preventing cancer. In fact, one study found that the two phytochemicals were able to deactivate cancer cells.

The oil’s anticancer properties work by halting cancer cell production. At the same time, it reactivates normal cells. Its anti-inflammatory properties also promote the healing of those cells.

The oil has been used in research involving a variety of cancer, including lung, breast, pancreatic, colon, and prostate cancer. While the jury is still officially out on the oil as a cancer treatment, the numbers don’t lie.

7. Increased Fertility and Sex Drive

Infertility is the result of a multitude of things, one being physical problems with the sex organs. Most issues, though, involve ovulation, which is controlled by hormones.

Black seed oil can help out there. Women, as well as men, have used it for over 2,000 years to help boost fertility. In fact, it’s considered one of the best all-natural treatments for infertility.

The oil also has properties for increasing sexual health for both men and women. It acts as an aphrodisiac that puts both sexes “in the mood.”

Its anti-inflammatory properties also promote blood circulation. Increased blood circulation results in increased blood flow to both sexes’ reproductive organs.

8. Better Liver Health

The liver is an all-important organ in your body. It processes everything that you consume, breaking it down and sorting it in nutrition and toxins. Then it sends the nutrients to your body and eliminates the toxins.

In that respect, you can think of the liver as one of the primary keys to keeping you happy, healthy, and alive.

Because the liver processes everything that goes into your body, it suffers when you ingest certain chemicals. Strong medication and heavy alcohol consumption can lead to liver damage over time. In some cases, the liver stops working and must be surgically replaced with a donor’s liver.

The oil from black seeds can help slow and stop liver damage. It promotes healing and repair in the liver, ensuring your liver stays healthy and functioning.

9. Fight Infections

We treat viral infections with antibiotics. The antibiotics work by targeting the shells encasing viruses, causing them to dissolve. In this fashion, the virus spills open, killing it and stopping it in its tracks.

A significant drawback of antibiotics is that they can make the infections they are designed to kill even stronger. Exposure to them strengthens the organisms. These resistant invaders need newer and stronger antibiotics for treatment. They are also indiscriminate killers. They damage the healthy intestinal flora required for proper digestion. That is why it is essential to consume a good probiotic after treatment.

Those most at risk to develop infection include the elderly and those who’ve recently undergone surgery.

The oil of black seeds has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties that make it efficient at soothing and preventing infection. The same goes for common colds and rashes. Additionally, the oil’s anti-inflammatory properties help reduce fevers.

10. Better Heart Health

Above all others, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Many fatal conditions can develop from heart disease, including heart attacks and strokes.

Heart disease develops for many reasons. The most common include genetics, diet, and lifestyle.

Regardless, the heart is another all-important organ you must protect. It circulates blood throughout the organism, allowing oxygen to reach even the most extreme limbs. Without proper oxygen ventilation, the body would shut down and die.

The oil of black seeds benefits the heart in several ways.

First, it helps reinforce the elasticity in blood vessel walls. This helps prevent clots from forming in the vessels. Clots cut off circulation, which leads to heart attacks, strokes, and increased blood pressure.

Black Seed oil also helps reduce blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. All these factors can lead to a healthier, happier heart.

11. A Stronger Immune System

The immune system fights off infection and other elements that it recognizes as foreign to the body. It is the body’s first line of defense against colds and other more severe diseases such as cancer.

Black seed oil works differently than other immune system boosters. It contains vitamins in addition to antioxidants, both of which work together to support the immune system. The oil promotes increased immune system activity without encouraging the immune system to attack healthy tissue.

Unsurprisingly, the oil has been used for several years as a natural alternative for alleviating HIV.

12. No More Random Aches and Pains

Thanks to all of its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, black seed oil can address everyday aches and pains.

Tonsil inflammation, for example. Inflammation of the tonsils leads to soreness in the throat, which can prevent you from eating, talking, and even breathing normally.

With the oil, you won’t have to worry about swallowing hard pills to treat throat inflammation. In fact, the oil is one of the most widely used all-natural treatments for throat irritations and aches.

Black seed oil also can temporarily treat toothaches. The antioxidants in it soothe the ache.

To ease a toothache, soak part of a cotton ball in the oil. Then apply the oiled side of the cotton ball to the ache. Your pain will soon disappear.

Stomach aches and nausea are other ailments that the oil can help. Typically, an excess of gas in the stomach leads to feelings of sickness and pain in the stomach. The oil stimulates digestion, resulting in the processing of that gas.

Muscle cramps and pains occur for a variety of reasons, from too much exercise to menstruation. The oil’s anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties help ease aches.

To soothe muscle aches using the oil, you have a few different options. You can drink it or else rub it into the cramped or pained area. Either way, you’ll feel the difference post-consumption.
