Black Seeds

Have you heard of black seed oil? I'm pretty sure by now there's not many that haven't. I've heard it's been used for hair growth to upset stomach's and eeverything in between. Growing up my Mom use to put it on all her baked goods. My sister and I hated it. All this little black seeds all over the place,and in every single bite of food...yuuck. However as the years have passed, and I be taken the time to go through many of my Mom's old recipes and Cookbooks I'm truly amazing at how ahead of her time she was in the 70',80's and 90's. What we as children deemed as abuse and trying to ruin our lives I now am thankful,blessed and honored to have lived through.


About 2 yrs ago I was diagnosed with http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/hives-urticaria-angioedema. I was totally in shock I've lived a holistic lifestyle all my life so what the heck. I was told to stop breastfeeding,and to pretty much stop eating all the things that consist of a holistic diet. Grapes,nuts, oranges,keylimes, plums,cherries and all berries. I'm like yeah ok. So the doctor prescribed me I kind you not 6 different medications 4 of which he said I'd need for life(one of the many reasons I don't fool with'em). So for 1 1/2 years I used all natural holistic remedies.

I was blessed to have a huge old school resources book of my mother's and found a great all natural way of controlling my hives. So I started using Quercetin and Bromelin http://quercetinbromelain.org/ . Unfortunately I had to use it 5-6 times a day. I don't like being depended on anything. So if I left it our forget to take it  I'd brake out...so not cool. So a few months ago I decided to revisit the benefits of Black Seed Oil. I made a call to my moma and asked her why she felt it necessary to sprinkle all our food with these little black seeds  at the time. So it got dem wheels a turning in this head of mines. https://draxe.com/black-seed-oil-benefits/

1. Relief of allergies and asthma: Many studies have shown how black cumin seed oil alleviates asthma, allergies, and other respiratory issues. The seed’s thymoquinone is shown in one study to be superior to the drug fluticasone in an animal model of asthma. In a study tested on human subjects, boiled water extracts of black seed showed a potent anti-asthmatic effect on asthmatic airways. Another randomized, placebo-controlled human study of chemical weapons injured patients found that boiled water extracts of black seed reduced respiratory symptoms, chest wheezing, and pulmonary function test values, as well as reduced the need for drug treatment.
According to Mkrtumyan, “Research’s strongest claim with the black cumin seed oil has to do with its healing benefits to the respiratory system. My son suffers from allergies and I have asthma and we see a direct benefit from continued use of the oil. The recommended dosage is 2 0r 3 teaspoons taken twice a day – but this amount can vary based on the season and the needs of the individual.”
2. Immune System Boost: Black cumin seeds contains antioxidants, beneficial acids and b-vitamins that balance the immune system. They have been found superior to almost every other natural remedy when used for autoimmune disorders. One study on ratsfound that black cumin seeds increased the immune response. Also, while herbs such as echenesia and elderberry can be dangerous for those with autoimmune disease. But according to studies and personal testimonies, black cumin seeds seem to balance the immune system increasing immune function but not encouraging immune reactions against the body’s healthy tissue. Another case presentation study highlights the complete recovery and sero-reversion of adult HIV patient after treatment with Nigella sativa concoction for the period of six months.
3. Anti-cancerous: Many studies show the reduction of cancer tumor linked to black cumin seed oil. In one study, the anticancer properties of black cumin seed were shown to cause a direct reduction of breast cancer cells. The thymoquinone in black seed has been shown to help induce apoptosis (cell death) in leukemia cells. Other studies have shown this same effect in brain tumor cells, cervical and pancreatic cancer, and oral cancer cells and cavity-forming bacteria (7). Black seed oil is also sometimes recommended as a natural protection against some of the danger from radiation and used in conjunction with conventional treatments.
In cases of colon caner, cell studies have found that black seed extract compares favorably to the chemoagent 5-fluoruracil in the suppression of the cancer’s growth, but with a far higher safety profile. Further research on rats also showed how black seed’s significant inhibitory effects, without observable side effects.
4. Anti-Inflammatory: According to Mkrtumyan, the oil of the black seed has shown anti-inflammatory properties “on several inflammation-based models including experimental encephalomyelitis, colitis, peritonitis, oedama, and arthritis through suppression of the inflammatory mediators prostaglandins and leukotriens.” One French study as well as another study in Iran showed how black cumin seeds’s thymoquinone strongly inhibits fMLF-induced neutrophil functions and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties in vivo. Another study demonstrated that thymoquinone inhibits inflammation induced activation of MAPKs, NF-KB and ROS generation followed by suppressing the gene expression of c-Fos and NFATc1 in osteoclast precursors.
5. Anti-microbial: Mkrtumyan attests that “black seed may also have benefits in fighting unwanted microbes including “bacteria, viruses, helminths, and fungus.” Once again, thymoquinone has shown to be the active ingredient that goes to war against harmful microbes in our body.
MRSA has even been wiped out by black cumin oil. Here’s one study that links this to the thymoquionone in black cumin seeds. Another study conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College researchers set out to determine just how potent black seed oil is against some of these superbugs and pared it against several antibiotics such as Amoxicillin, Gatifloxacin, and Tetracycline. According to the study, “Out of 144 strains tested, most of which were resistant to a number of antibiotics, 97 were inhibited by the oil of black cumin.” 
6. Digestive Aid: These powerful little seeds are carminative, meaning they aid in digestion and may decrease gas, bloating and stomach pain. Intestinal parasites have been successful fought off with this oil. One study traced the gastroprotective properties of black seed to thymoquoinone. One study showed how black seed inhibits the growth of colon cancer cells with no negative side effects.
7. Improves the Quality of Hair, Skin, and Nails: For centuries, black cumin seed oil was used topically to soften, strengthen and firm skin and help increase hair growth. It minimizes dark spots on the face and discoloration. It can encourage better moisture-retention, giving hair more luster and body. However, Mkrtumyan’s findings show that “some of the essential components of the oil can cause irritation when used topically. The same benefits can be derived from the oil when taken internally, without any irritation or side-effects.” There have en been studies on the seed as a useful remedy against scars and to prevent scar formation on wounds.
8. Heals skin problems like eczema and psoriasis: Black seed oil has also proved to be very beneficial for those who suffer from skin problems like eczema and psoriasis. According to a recent study, it helps sooth inflammation and improve the speed and which skin heals.
9. Cardiovascular Benefits: Studies


So I started planting goods in my garden to make my most amazing creation yet. Sunni's Healing Tea. I started using this amazing tasty a few months back. I wanted to try it for at least 12 weeks to see how it works before marketing it. I'm here to tell you I have not had to take not one of my Quercetin and Bromelain pills!
