Black cumin oil is unique in its composition; it is used not only in cooking, but also in folk medicine.

BLACK CUMIN OIL

Black cumin oil - composition

Black cumin seeds contain 30-35% fatty oil. The oil is produced from black cumin seeds by cold pressing, which preserves its beneficial properties.

Black cumin oil is one of the healthiest oils. Its composition is dominated by polyunsaturated fatty acids (57%), 27% monounsaturated fatty acids and 16% saturated fatty acids. The acid-fat composition of this oil is very rich. Prevail:

linoleic acid - Omega 6 (55-65%),
oleic acid - Omega 9 (15-18%),
palmitic acid - (10-12%),
stearic acid (3%).

But linolenic acid (Omega 3) is contained in cumin oil in very small quantities - (0.1%). Therefore, it is advisable to also consume other foods and oils that contain linolenic acid in high concentrations (for example, flaxseeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and the oils that are obtained from them).

Omega 6 and Omega 3 are essential fatty acids that the human body cannot synthesize and must be obtained from food. These fats are necessary for the normal functioning of the immune system, for the synthesis of prostaglandins that regulate cell metabolism, and for healthy skin and hair.

In order not to harm the body, you need to take care of the presence of these two fatty acids in your daily diet. Linoleic acid should be a source of 1-2 percent of calories. And linolenic acid is required 5-10 times less.

Most often, the problem is an excess of linoleic acid (Omega-6), as it is found in most vegetable oils and other products in fairly high concentrations. But linolenic acid (Omega-3) is much less common.

The ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 should be no more than 10:1 (and preferably 5:1). In this combination, these polyunsaturated fats will provide benefits. What's in reality? Unfortunately, the ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 in most people's diets reaches 15:1 or more.

Black cumin oil also contains a variety of enzymes, vitamins and minerals:

15 amino acids, of which 8 are essential amino acids (including arginine, which stimulates the immune system and slows down the role of tumors),
carotenoids (precursors of vitamin A), vitamins A, D, C and B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9),
potassium, sodium, calcium, manganese, iron, copper, selenium, zinc, phosphorus, nickel, etc.,
phospholipids, phytosterols, flavonoids, tannins, polysaccharides and monosaccharides, alkaloids, enzymes, etc.,
essential oils (up to 1.3%).

Benefits of black cumin oil for immunity.

Black cumin oil has a stimulating effect on the thymus gland, which is responsible for immunity. Cumin oil can be used to strengthen the body's defenses both prophylactically and for treatment of illness.

At first, an exacerbation of various diseases is possible. This is caused by the activation of the immune system - the body begins to fight untreated and sluggish diseases, for which it previously did not have enough strength.

The use of black cumin oil for general strengthening of the body and for preventive purposes:

For adults - 1 teaspoon on an empty stomach in the morning and 1 teaspoon on an empty stomach in the evening.
For children (over 6 years old) - half a teaspoon per day, in the morning on an empty stomach.

You can season vegetable salad with black cumin oil, mix the oil with freshly squeezed orange juice or water (you can add honey). For general strengthening of the body, you should take black cumin oil for 2-4 months, then it is advisable to take a break.

This is a general scheme suitable for the prevention and treatment of most diseases for which black cumin has shown its effectiveness.

Benefits of black cumin oil for colds.

In addition to its general strengthening effect, black cumin oil has expectorant, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties, which makes it an effective remedy in the fight against colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.

Use of black cumin oil for colds:

Take according to the same scheme as the previous paragraph: adults - 1 teaspoon on an empty stomach in the morning and 1 teaspoon on an empty stomach in the evening, children (from 6 years old) - half a teaspoon per day, in the morning on an empty stomach.

So, what is special about black cumin oil that allows it to be used for the prevention and treatment of cancer?

Black cumin oil stimulates the thymus gland and strengthens the immune system. We wrote about this above (in fact, it is the normalization of the thymus gland that explains many of the beneficial properties of this oil). And immunity is what allows the body to successfully destroy foreign bodies and mutated cells.
Black cumin oil destroys cancer cells. More precisely, cumin contains a compound called thymoquinone, which has a double effect - it destroys cancer cells and prevents the formation of new cancer cells:

All cells contain programmed cell death (apoptosis) signaling mechanisms, which are used by the body to destroy virus-infected or mutated cells. The immune system triggers the process of aptosis - and the cell self-destructs. In cancer cells, this process is blocked by certain proteins. Thymoquinone inactivates these proteins or interferes with their production, thereby allowing the immune system to activate the process of aptosis in cancer cells.
Cancer cells use molecular mechanisms associated with inflammation and wound healing to spread. Activation of this mechanism stimulates cell division. Thymoquinone interferes with these mechanisms (it should be noted that this property of thymoquinin can interfere with wound healing, so the use of black cumin and black cumin oil should be limited in the presence of wounds).

Black cumin oil stimulates the hematopoietic functions of the bone marrow. More precisely, black cumin essential oils have a stimulating effect. This property makes black cumin simply an indispensable remedy for leukemia (blood cancer).

Scientific proof of the effectiveness of black seed oil for the treatment of cancer.

Unlike most folk remedies recommended in alternative cancer treatment regimens, black seed oil has been studied in laboratory and even clinical settings. The results of scientific research prove the validity of including cumin oil in treatment regimens for cancer patients:

Specialists from the Cancer-Immunobiology Laboratory, based in Southern California (USA), confirmed the ability of cumin essential oils to stimulate the hematopoietic activity of the bone marrow.
Various studies have shown the high activity of cumin oils in stimulating the functioning of the immune generator – the thymus gland.
Studies have shown the effectiveness of thymoquinone in killing cancer cells.

Uses of black cumin oil against cancer:

Black cumin can be used both for the treatment of cancer and for prevention. It is recommended to take oil or crushed black cumin seeds internally and apply the oil to the affected areas externally.

But in traditional medicine, black seed oil is rarely included in cancer treatment regimens because it is not always combined with chemotherapy and neutralizes the effects of radiation therapy.

Benefits of black cumin oil for worms.

Mix a teaspoon of crushed black cumin seeds with warm water and take it in the morning before breakfast.
Take a solution of black cumin oil in water, one teaspoon 3 times a day before meals. For children, the dose should be reduced to half a teaspoon.
You can use black cumin oil externally. To do this, they should generously lubricate the anus every evening.

This oil improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and liver and prevents various diseases associated with impaired stomach acidity, intestinal microflora and inflammatory processes. It has a complex positive effect:

normalizes stomach acidity,
prevents the emergence and development of inflammatory processes,
helps normalize intestinal microflora,
has a choleretic effect.

All this makes black cumin oil an effective and safe remedy for the prevention and treatment of gastritis, peptic ulcers, enterocolitis, cholecystitis, colitis, hepatitis, cholelithiasis, pancreatitis, enteritis, cirrhosis, etc.

The use of black cumin oil for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver:

Benefits of black cumin oil for the urinary system.

This oil is useful for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the urinary system (cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, urolithiasis, etc.).

The use of ground black cumin seeds mixed with honey for the prevention and dissolution of stones in the kidneys, gall bladder and bladder:

Add half a teaspoon of crushed black cumin seeds and half a teaspoon of honey to a glass of warm water. Drink the entire glass in the morning 30 minutes before meals. Repeat daily for 2-3 weeks.
Mix ground black cumin seeds, honey and chopped garlic or ginger in equal proportions. Take 1 teaspoon before each meal. Store in the refrigerator, in a closed container, for no more than 15 days. You should get 3-4 doses per day (for example, if you practice split meals, take the product not before each meal, but only 3-4 times).

The method is quite well known, there are positive reviews. According to reviews, the stones dissolve within 2-3 weeks. However, treat this method with all possible caution, since, theoretically, trying to get rid of stones yourself this way can be dangerous. It is necessary to know the size of the stones and monitor changes during treatment (ideally, do an ultrasound every few days). In the event of an attack, consult a doctor immediately to make sure that the stones are small and that their passage is not dangerous.

Also, we should not forget about preventive kidney cleansing, which is preferably carried out once every 1-2 years as part of a comprehensive body cleansing program.

Benefits of black cumin oil for allergies.

Allergies are caused by an increased reactivity of the body's immune system to substances that are normally harmless. The body's defense mechanism is unable to distinguish between harmful and harmless substances and fights against all foreign substances that enter the body. The most common forms of allergies are asthma, seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic (year-round) rhinitis, as well as urticaria and eczema.

Black seed oil is effective in relieving allergy symptoms. The mechanism of the therapeutic effect of black cumin has not yet been fully studied, but it is associated mainly with the ability to significantly increase immunity in a short time. Apparently, black cumin not only stimulates the immune system, but normalizes it, that is, restores a healthy immune response, which is impaired due to allergies.

Use of black cumin oil for allergies:

For seasonal allergies, it is recommended to begin treatment a few weeks before pollen season begins. Adults - take 1 teaspoon of black cumin oil before meals, 3 times a day. Children (from 6 years old) - half a teaspoon once a day. Continue treatment throughout the summer months. Take a break in winter.
If allergy symptoms have already appeared, inhalation is recommended to get a quick effect. For inhalation - pour 1 tablespoon of crushed cumin seeds into 1 liter of boiling water, close the lid and let it brew for 5-10 minutes.

Benefits of black cumin oil for men.

Black cumin improves potency, increases libido and increases fertility. Black cumin oil is also effective for the prevention and treatment of prostatitis.

Cumin contains phytosterols, which improve the production of the male sex hormone testosterone. Accordingly, libido increases, blood supply to the genitals improves and sperm quality improves.
Cumin contains manganese and selenium, which have a positive effect on potency and male libido.
Cumin contains vitamin E, which improves the condition of the gonads, which in turn helps improve testosterone production.
Cumin contains vitamin C, which increases sperm motility.
Black cumin oil improves blood circulation and protects against inflammatory processes.

The use of black cumin oil to treat prostatitis, increase libido, improve male potency and fertility:

Take 1 teaspoon of black cumin oil in the morning after breakfast.

Apply black cumin oil to the lower back, scrotum and groin area before going to bed. Rub the oil in a circular motion until completely absorbed.

It is important to combine the use of black cumin oil with the consumption of foods that are beneficial for increasing testosterone (cruciferous vegetables, foods rich in fiber, nuts and seeds) and eliminate or at least reduce the consumption of foods that harm testosterone production (meat, milk and eggs containing a large amount of hormones, foods high in preservatives and other harmful products).

You should not neglect other methods that help increase testosterone - such as physical exercise, intermittent fasting on water, healthy sleep, sex, contrast showers, qigong.

Benefits of black cumin oil for women.

Black cumin oil is useful for treating menstrual irregularities, infertility, mastopathy, inflammatory-infectious and oncological diseases of the female reproductive system.

Women during breastfeeding are recommended to consume black cumin oil, which significantly enhances lactation. And also, lubricate the cracks in the nipples with oil to speed up healing.

Black cumin oil contains phytoestrogens, which may be beneficial in cases of hormonal imbalance.

Phytoestrogens are non-steroidal plant compounds that in the human body can act not only as estrogens, but also as antiestrogens. For example, unlike real estrogens, they do not stimulate, but rather suppress the growth of hormone-dependent tumors.

This dual effect is caused by the very nature of phytoestrogens. These plant substances are able to bind to the same receptors (special protein structures on the surface of cells) as estrogens. But the effect of phytoestrogens is much weaker (about 500-1000 times). Thus, when estrogen levels are low, phytoestrogens bind to unoccupied receptors. And with a high level of estrogen, phytoestrogens begin to compete with real estrogens and, occupying receptors, have an androgenic effect.

Now you know that phytoestrogens themselves are not always beneficial - women with normal levels of sex hormones should not abuse foods containing large amounts of phytoestrogens. But black cumin oil does not contain so many of them; its beneficial properties are based on the combination of all other components. At the same time, to improve your health you need to consume no more than 1 teaspoon of oil per day, which allows you not to worry about an unwanted excess of phytoestrogens.
