I got this information from a very close friend of mine. After doing some background research I found some very useful and interesting information. So I am writing this blog post so that it will benefit everyone. If you find it interesting and helpful, please click like in the post and share it with your friends.

This herb has been used for thousands of years to strengthen the immune system, cleanse the body, purify the blood, protect against irritants and support healthy longevity. Long forgotten this herb is now enjoying a positive and welcomed come-back.

The power of 'Black seed' lies in the ingredients Nigella and Melatin found in Black seed. There are about 100 different chemical compounds or valuable nutrients found in Black seed.

Black Seed has over 1400 years history of use. Many ancient books and text suggest the following traditional uses for Black Seed. But please note, that these should not be understood as cures or treatments for any disease or illness.


How does Black Seed Benefit ?

The majority of our health problems have the same causes- infection by micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi. When using clinical (allopathic medicines) each symptom is treated individually and usually with synthetic chemically manufactured medicines that contain alcohol and other harmful ingredients. Black seed is effective at treating the body as a whole and fights the actual cause of the symptoms. Black seed regulates too weak or too strong reactions of the immune system and is excellent for treating chronic, allergic and hormonal diseases.It uses are many as well as its benefit. Black seed support metabolism, improve digestion, and lowers blood sugar levels. It is used to dispel worms and parasites from intestinal track. It is useful in soothing bronchitis and coughs,increase body tone, stimulates menstrual periods, increases the flow of breast milk, provides quick energy, increases sperm count, calms the nervous system, encourages hair growth and retards hair fall out, prevents skin wrinkling, and much more.


Side Effects of Black Seeds

There are no known side effects of this miraculous herb, but it is better to take caution here. Black Seed has been reported to be toxic in the amount of 25 grams or more. But who in the world would take that amount? The maximum dosage for any cure is 3 teaspoons per day. Some sites are telling people to take a large amount of the oil, to sell more products. Follow the suggested dosage requirements, and see that more is not necessary and more does not heal quicker.


Warnings of Black Seeds

Never take the oil on a full stomach. It needs to be mixed with another liquid such as juice, yogurt or honey and taken one hour before the meal. If taking the oil twice in a day, then the oil should be mixed with honey or juice and taken before bedtime.
If taking the seeds, they must be heated. Never take the seeds that have not been heated as they will upset the stomach.


How to Heat the Seeds

Place one fourth of the seeds in a skillet on low heat. Use only one fourth of the seeds in case the seeds are burned. Stir the seeds every few minutes and keep tasting the seeds until they loose their tart taste. The seeds must be bland. The seeds should pop slightly. Remove them from the heat and let them cool. Place the desired amount in a coffee grinder and grind. Place the desired seeds in vegetarian capsules or in honey.


How to Mix the Seeds with the Honey

Fill a pint jar with the ground black seeds and add in one fourth a jar of honey. Mix the honey and the black seeds well. Keep adding a little honey at a time until the honey and black seeds are mixed well. It needs to be a very thick consistency. The mixture will thicken more over night. It is very delicious and a sweet treat. Suggested dosage is one teaspoon a day. Do not give the honey mixture to diabetic patients.


Precautions for the Use of Black Seeds

It is not suggested for pregnant women to take black seeds. If the patient has a major disease, they need to be monitored by a doctor as black seeds will cause your blood pressure to drop.
Never mix black seeds with pharmaceutical medicines. Some sites are stating the opposite, but it is not a Cure when the Black seed is mixed with another ingredient.The cure only works with faith and sincerity. Not believing in the cure is the same as not having a cure at all.
