Benefits of Black Seed Oil

5/6/2015

2 Comments

 
Black Seed is a plant from Ranunculaceae (buttercup) family. It originates from Western Asia. It has white flowers when in bloom.

For over 2 centuries, black seed has been used by different cultures as a natural remedy for varied diseases and improve our health and well-being. Ancient Egyptians knew its benefits and called it a panacea (cure for illnesses) whereas the Ancient Romans utilized it as part of a diet and called it Greek Coriander. Ancient Greeks used it for aches of the head and teeth as well as nasal congestion. Our Beloved Prophet peace be upon him:

‘Use the Black Seed for indeed, it is a cure for all diseases except death.’ [Sahih Bukhari - 7:591]

Current Research
Studies have shown that its active ingredient, crystalline nigellone, contains 15 amino acids. Amongst these include 8 essential amino acids. It also has carbohydrates, fatty acids including linolenic and oleic acids, alkaloids, volatile oils, and dietary fibre, as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, sodium and potassium.

Recent studies have shown that black seed is an antibiotic, anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory, anti-histaminic, anti-bacterial, anti-bronchial and immune-boosting agent.


Some studies have shown it has trypanocidal properties and can stimulate the host immune system to maintain parasite proliferation. Consequently, it can help manage African sleeping sickness despite there is a risk of damage gradually occurring to host organs (shown due to increase in serum enzymes).

What does Black Seed Oil contain?
Black Seed Oil contains 3 main natural phytochemicals: thymoquinone (TQ), thymohydroquinone (THQ) and thymol.

A study published in the Egyptian Journal of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology experimented these 3 natural chemicals against 30 human pathogens. Results suggested that all three chemicals showed 100% inhibition for these pathogens.

Thymol  - It is also present in thyme. It is a natural monoterpene. It is useful against fungus and viruses. Studies found it to be the best anti-fungal agent followed by TQ and THQ. It is also used in cosmetics and food flavouring.

Thymoquinone - It has anti-tumour, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown it to aid with asthma, diabetes, carcinogenesis and encephalomyelitis. It preserves anti-oxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase as they detoxify and aid in cellular anti-oxidant defense systems as they protect the liver from toxins.

Thymohydroquinone - It is a natural acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors that aims to stop enzymatic activitity which increase the amount of neurotransmitter acetylecholine remains active in the brain. These AChE inhibitors treat Schizophrenia, Glaucoma, Alzheimer’s disease, apathy and other conditions.

                                is one of the most aggressive brain tumours.

Breast Cancer – Thymoquinone can induce tumour growth and apoptosis in breast cancer cells.
