Black Seed Oil Health Benefits
Black Seed Oil Health Benefits | Does It Cure Everything?
As with everything, if you are searching for the benefits of something that has a very long history of healing many things, you will come across many headlines warning you about the dangers and side effects of it. The black seed oil health benefits list is so long, it would be much easier to list here the things it hasn’t been known to cure and prevent.
And, as I’m sure you are smart enough to know, there are side effects to anything that you take too much of. Just start easy, and slowly increase. Also, there might be conflictions, as with anything, with pharmaceutical drugs. But I can’t for the life of me find any documented cases where anything terrible has happened to anybody.
Also Known As Black Cumin Seed Oil
Black seed oil, otherwise known as black cumin seed oil, or Nigella Sativa, scientifically, is becoming, with its increasing popularity, a bit of an enemy of the powers that be, for obvious reasons, if you know anything about the bigger picture of who they are. If not, read our About page, or do some digging via an alternative web browser to the one most people use…
You will here the usual things, like, “There is not enough evidence to support black cumin being effective in curing blah, blah, blah…”. But you can find a boatload of great testimonies about black cumin seed, if you are interested.
Here’s a short video with some testimonies.
Black cumin seed is also sometimes known as nigella, fennel flower, black cumin, Roman coriander and black caraway.
Does It Cure Everything but Death?
If you have done research on it, you may have heard it said that black cumin cures everything but death.
Well, I don’t know about that, but it certainly is documented to have cured just about anything you can think of off the top of your head. And there certainly must be a reason why it is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, and has been used for the healing of a ton of things for thousands of years in the Middle East, Asia, and the Far East.

What Is Black Cumin Seed / Black Seed?

Black Cumin Seed, or Black Seed is the seeds from a plant called Nigella Sativa. This plant grows in the Middle East, Southwest Asia, and Southern Europe.
The flowers of Nigella Sativa are usually light blue, but sometimes white.
As well as containing a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory called thymoquinone (it’s main active compound), it also contains high amounts of iron, calcium, copper, zinc, thiamine, niacin, phosphorous and folic acid, and is a significant source of fatty acids, proteins and carbohydrates.
Thymoquinone is an anti-cancer agent.
What Are the Health Benefits of Black Cumin Seed
As already mentioned, it does seem that black cumin seed benefits just about everything.
Black cumin seed may cure everything but death, as I’ve found to be commonly stated in my research, so it also stands to reason that it would also be wise to take it to prevent everything but death.
As an anti-inflammatory, it can reduce inflammation of the brain, preventing and even reversing the effects of different forms of dementia and Parkinson’s disease. It will also lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol, as well as protecting the liver and other kidneys from damage. It can also reduce or reverse the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. And the list goes on and on…
But can it help with other things, such as… say… weight loss?
Oh yeah, baby!

Black Cumin Seed for Hair Growth
Black seed oil can be applied topically to the scalp to promote hair growth, as well as overall hair health. I would suggest diluting it at first (if you are using straight oil), to make sure it doesn’t irritate your scalp. Then massage it in, daily, decreasing the dilution. You will have to be patient, of course. You will not likely see much for hair growth results for a couple of months, but you will see your hair becoming healthier, and you will probably become super smart, too, as it will permeate your brain and you will find yourself using big words you never even thought you knew.
Just kidding about that last part.
But the cool thing is, if you are taking black seed oil internally, as well as applying it directly to your scalp, your hair will benefit from both, as many of the causes for hair loss are underlying actual scalp issues. And as we surely can see by now, black cumin seed benefits these issues!
Read this article to learn more about black cumin seed for hair growth and how to properly apply it.
To Summarize:
We have gone over what are the many black seed oil health benefits, and seen that they are most definitely many! We have learned what black cumin seed is, and can see why it is often said to “cure everything but death”, due to its being a powerful antioxidant, and containing lots of really essential vitamins and nutrients.
We have covered a few of the proven black seed oil health benefits (though the list goes on and on), and we have talked about black cumin seed for hair growth.
I have become fascinated with black cumin seed, since having begun my research on it for this article. I have ordered some black cumin seed capsules, which should arrive any day now. I intend to append an update, once I have taken it long enough to see results.
If you are interested in ordering it, this is a great place to get them, and just about any other natural supplements. You’ll see there are no ratings yet, but this product is 5-star rated on Amazon (but more expensive there).

Excellent, and thank you!
I have been feeling fantastic since around the time I started taking the black seed capsules. I have changed a couple other things too, so I couldn’t say it is entirely due to the black seed, but I think it likely has a lot to do with it.
Fully agree with you Craig on the devilishness of the Big Pharmaceutical industry, and my skepticism about conventional mainstream “medicine” has only been ramped up lately. I actually hadn’t heard of black seed oil before, but when the time comes, I will certainly be looking into acquiring some! Informative and candid overview here, I have bookmarked it for future reference.
Hi Alicia.
I would buy cold pressed black seed oil and mix it with castor oil. Maybe one part black seed oil to 3 parts castor oil and massage it in to the scalp for several minutes. Simple.
Castor oil also helps with hair growth!
I was not aware that you could use black seed oil for hair growth. I have been looking for something to help with my daughter’s alopecia, as I don’t want to use any type of chemical hair growth (I feel like the chemicals will only irritate the scalp and make matters worse). Would I need to mix it with a carrier oil, like coconut oil?
Hey, Craig. I have ordered some capsules, but they haven’t arrived yet. I have heard a few people say they work very well for general health, and many specific things!
Thanks for your comment! Here is a link to the highest rated brand on Amazon that I have been able to find: https://amzn.to/3m7tsV0
Wow I didn’t know black cumin was so powerful. I know turmeric and lots of other spices are used as medicinal especially in asia. I will definitely have to try it out, not for any thing in particulate but just for all round good health.
Have you used in for anything in particular and so it work?
Hi there, I knew black seed oil was good for your health, but I didn’t realize to what extent. I have not seen it being sold in my local supermarket, so it would be interesting to know where the best place is to buy it. Ideally I would like to have the seeds and toast them to use in cooking, but I might need more than that to get enough to benefit from all the goodness in black seed oil. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Cynthia. Haha, well, I go for the capsules, because most people seem to find the taste of the raw seeds to not be so great. You could try both and see. The nice thing is that either way, it is very inexpensive.
I can’t believe I have never heard of this supplement before!! I feel like I could benefit from this, especially the weight loss and hair growth. Too bad it can’t really permeate my brain, haha! Can I buy these seeds off the spice shelf at the supermarket and still gain benefits or should I buy them in capsule form?
Right on, Hugh!
Cheers.
When I listen to the different types of pharma medications for this and that illness I am always shocked at the end to hear the side effects. It typically is a laundry list of reactions – bleeding, excessive bloating, vomiting, lethargy, chest pain and so much more. It is therefore refreshing to read about the many benefits of Black Seed Oil without the long list of harmful side effects which are typical. I particularly would look to it for inflammation as it is the root cause of heart conditions and joint pain. I intend to check out the store today to see if I can swig a bottle and enjoy the benefits you describe.
Thanks very much, Lio.
I would love to hear a report of how you make out on the capsules!
Wow, I had no idea black seed oil was mentioned in the Bible. I had no concept of what it was before reading your post, but now I do. It appears to be a highly effective treatment. Many people are concerned about their weight, and I believe that if they are aware of it, they will take advantage of it massively.
That joke you made was also hilarious 🙂 I’ll make sure to get my capsules as well and see how much it can help.
Thank you very much.
