Description

The best way to rule out an allergy to any oils listed on this website is to do a patch test first. Apply a small amount of black seed oil to a 1-inch patch of skin on the inside of the arm. If no irritation occurs over a 24-hour period, the oil can be safely used on other parts of the skin.

Anyone allergic to black seed should avoid contact with black seed oil. When used in small amounts for cooking, black seed oil is likely safe for most people.

  • Potential health benefits of black seed oil

In traditional medicine, black seed oil has been used to treat a variety of health conditions. As a result, it has sometimes been referred to as “panacea,” or the universal healer.

  • High in antioxidants

Black seed oil is high in antioxidants — plant compounds that help protect cells against damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals.

Antioxidants are important for health, as research has shown that they can reduce inflammation and protect against conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer.

In particular, black seed oil is rich in thymoquinone, which has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. As a result, studies suggest this compound may protect brain health and aid in treating several types of cancer.

  • May help in treating asthma

Asthma is a chronic condition in which the lining of your airways swells and the muscles around them constrict, making it difficult for you to breathe.

May aid weight loss efforts

While the exact mechanism isn’t fully understood, research shows that black seed oil may help reduce body mass index (BMI) in individuals with obesity, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes.

Despite these promising results, more research is needed on the long-term safety and efficacy of taking black seed oil for weight loss.

  • May lower blood sugar levels

For individuals with diabetes, consistently high blood sugar levels have been shown to increase the risk of future complications, including kidney disease, eye disease, and stroke. Some individuals with type 2 diabetes indicate that a dose of 2 grams of whole black seeds crushed per day may significantly reduce fasting blood sugar levels and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels.

While most studies use black seed powder in capsules, black seed oil has also been shown to help lower blood sugar levels.

  • May help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels

Black seed oil has also been studied for its potential effectiveness in reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

High blood pressure and high total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels are important risk factors for heart disease. The oil may also help lower blood pressure.

Taking about 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of black seed oil twice a day for 8 weeks may significantly reduce blood pressure levels compared with a placebo. More research is needed to confirm the optimal dose.

  • May protect brain health

Neuroinflammation is the inflammation of brain tissue. It’s thought to play an important role in the development of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Still, more research is needed to confirm black seed oil’s protective effects on brain health.

  • It may be good for skin and hair

In addition to medical uses, black seed oil is commonly used topically to help with a variety of skin conditions and to hydrate hair.

  • acne

  • eczema

  • general dry skin

  • psoriasis

  • Other potential benefits

Black seed oil may have other benefits for health, including:

  • Anticancer effects. Test-tube studies have shown thymoquinone in black seed oil to help control the growth and spread of several types of cancer cells.

  • Reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Due to its anti-inflammatory effects, limited research suggests that black seed oil may help reduce joint inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Male infertility. May improve semen quality in men diagnosed with infertility.

  • Antifungal. Black seed oil has also been shown to have antifungal activity. In particular, it may protect against Candida albicans, which is a yeast that can lead to candidiasis.
