What is Black Seed?


Black Seed truly is an Amazing Herb! For centuries, the Black Seed herb and oil has been used by millions of people in Asia, Middle East, and Africa to promote health and fight disease. An aromatic spice, similar looking to sesame seed except black in color, it has been traditionally used for a variety of conditions and treatments related to respiratory health, stomach and intestinal complaints, kidney and livery function, circulatory and immune system support, and to improve general health. Black Seed is also known as Black Cumin, Black Caraway Seed, Habbatul Baraka (the Blessed Seed), and by its botanical name "Nigella Sativa".

Since 1959, over 200 studies at international universities and articles published in various journals have shown remarkable results supporting its traditional uses recorded almost 1400 years ago. (Click on the articles below for more info!)

While the Black Seed is highly effective by itself, ongoing studies with the combination of other herbs have produced remarkable results. Not to mention the exceptional results experienced by people who have used Black Seed throughout the years.

Amazingly Black Seed's chemical composition is very rich and diverse. Aside from its active ingredient, crystalline nigellone, Black Seed contains 15 amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, both fixed oils (84% fatty acids, including linolenic, and oleic), and volatile oils, alkaloids, saponin, and crude fiber, as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, sodium and potassium. There are still many components in Black Seed that haven't been identified. But research is going on around the world.
