The Health Benefits of Black Seed (الحبة السوداء)
Student of Knowledge:
Here are some pics...
The first pic below is a petridish incubated with Staph aureus and the top disk contains gentamicin (you can see the zone of inhibition). The second disk had no inhibition, it contained ethylene glycol which is quite inert in itself....
Now compare the first pic to this second pic below which contains 2 disks with black seed essential oil. Just look at the difference between the picture above and the one below, the whole plate is clear, there is a complete inhibition of the bacteria after 24 hour incubation, no growth whatsoever! subhanalah.
The third image below is of MRSA with black seed disks, the zone is actually quite big because it is resistant to many penicillins. I wouldhav posted another pic with penicillin Vs MRSA for comparative purposes, but im slow at uploading pics!...... but to get a zone like this with black seed Vs MRSA is in fact incredible!
tc all,
Salamu 'alaikum wr wb
oh yes and one more thing.. some1 said why is it not given as tablets or something.... I think like i said b4 there is no doubt about the great benefit of black seed, but the biggest issues are the little things like the rather unclear pharmacodynamics, would it interfere with other drugs if taken alongside other medications? what are the side effects if any? we know that black seed is used for numerous illnesses so where is the exact molecular target(s) of action?
So basically it is these issues that need to be clarified ithink before healthcare systems worldwide would prescribe it legally... Which brings me back to my initial point i.e. we need further research inthis field....

Research from around the world is producing increasing supportive documentation regarding Black Seed's vast healing properties. Due to its amazing effect on the immune system, Black Seed aids and supplements the body's own ability to heal.
The Cancer Immune-Biology Laboratory of South Carolina published results on a study they did on Black Seed. It stated "Black Cumin Oil (Black Seed) generally helps stimulate the production of bone marrow and cells of the immune system. It increases the production of interferon, protects normal cells from the damaging effects of viral disease, destroys tumor cells and increases the number of antibody producing B cells.
The effects of Black Cumin Oil on humans were recently also studied in Germany. A Munich immunologist, Dr. Peter Schleicher, closely co-operated with institutions in the United States and has, as a result, written two books on the subject containing numerous recipes for the treatment of a wide variety of ailments. Most of them are skin disorders or allergy related conditions, like asthma and hay fever and are far too numerous to be listed here.
One book, Black Cumin: Magical Egyptian Herb by Peter Schleicher, M.D., and Mohamed Saleh, M.D. explores the extraordinary effectiveness of black cumin against immune-system disorders, allergies, asthma, and skin problems.
This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the healing properties of this incredible plant. It contains everything you need to know in order to use black seed for the prevention and treatment of illness, including specific recipes for infections and allergies, and precise directions for their preparation. The authors even provide a section on the use of black seed as a beauty aid and as a culinary staple.
