Black seed oil treats
Black cumin seeds are tiny, elegantly shaped and matte black. The mother plant's delicate pale blue and white flowers grow in regions all over the world, from Eastern Europe to Western Asia and the Middle East.
They may be known by many names (black seeds, black cumin, black cumin, shonaz, kalajira, kalonji). However, however you may know them, black seeds have a rich history when it comes to health. In many cultures, especially in the Middle East, black seed oil is traditionally believed to treat a variety of ailments.
Benefits of black seed oil in Islam
Throughout the Islamic and Arab world, black seeds are considered a universal healer. They have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Fascinatingly, black seeds were even mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad, who claimed that they could cure "everything except death itself."
However, this is not the only instance of a historical figure extolling the benefits of black seed. Many others agreed, including the Greek physician Hippocrates, the natural philosopher Pliny the Elder, and the pharmacologist, physician, and botanist Pedanius Dioscorides. The latter is the author of "De Materia Medica," a five-volume encyclopedia of herbal remedies that was referenced for over 1,500 years.
If that's not enough, black seeds are also mentioned in the Holy Scriptures as a medicinal remedy. What's more, archaeologists found them in the tomb of the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun.
