Black cumin seeds are often used as a spice in various cuisines around the world. But that is not all: these small seeds are used to produce a unique product with a variety of beneficial properties: black cumin oil.

These valuable seeds come from the Nigella sativa flower. It originally comes from southwestern Asia and has spread from there to several African countries, where it is now grown in large quantities. The plant grows to about knee height and has a straight, branched stem, deeply lobed leaves, and pale blue flowers. It is usually called black cumin, but is also known as comino negro, black onion, black sesame, nigella, and kalonji.

The miraculous properties of black seed have been known for centuries. It is believed that this was one of the beauty secrets of the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. The rulers of the Middle East consumed the oil to ensure good health and longevity. We are convinced that it works.

The ancient Egyptians also had many uses for black seed oil: as a natural cosmetic, as an antidote for snake bites, to improve digestion, and to eliminate intestinal parasites. Vessels containing this healing oil were found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, demonstrating the great importance of the plant in antiquity. Thus, the oil extracted from the Egyptian seeds eventually came to be known as "Royal".

According to modern archaeological research, the use of black cumin seed oils in traditional remedies in Asia, the Mediterranean region, Africa, and the Middle East dates back about 3,000 years. There is much historical evidence of the use of these seeds by ancient scientists and healers. For example, the famous Greek physician Hippocrates used Nigella Sativa to treat his patients. Dioscorides also used these seeds—to treat headaches and toothaches.

1. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said about this plant: "The black seed cures all diseases except death" (Sahih Bukhari 7:71:592).
2. Black cumin is mentioned in the Bible (Isaiah 28:23-29).
3. The beneficial properties of black cumin seeds are also mentioned in Ayurvedic texts.

The reason for the popularity of Nigella Sativa as a universal natural remedy lies in the complex chemical composition of the seeds. Each seed contains many vitamins and valuable fatty acids. The main active ingredient of the oil is a crystalline nigellone, a substance that is not yet fully understood by chemists, but has already been thoroughly studied by physicists.
