Product Description
For centuries, the Black Seed herb and oil has been used by millions of people in Asia, Middle East, and Africa to support their health. An aromatic spice, similar looking to sesame seed except black in color, it has been traditionally used for a variety of conditions and treatments related to respiratory health, stomach and intestinal health, kidney and liver function, circulatory and immune system support, and for general overall well-being. Black Seed is also known as Black Cumin, Black Caraway Seed, Habbatul Baraka (the Blessed Seed), and by its botanical name "Nigella Sativa".

This is the first in-depth book that covers its history of use from Biblical times up to the modern day with excerpts from research studies conducted throughout the world.

For thousands of years, humans around the world have recognized the tremendous healing properties of a legendary herb: Nigella sativa, or Black Seed. "Black Seed heals every disease except for death." The Prophet Mohammed proclaimed this over fourteen hundred years ago. It’s quite a statement. But the protective and healing powers of Black Seed, the seeds from the plant Nigella sativa, are so astoundingly comprehensive and varied that for thousands of years humans have regarded it as a "Miracle Cure." It works by assisting the body in its own natural healing processes. In fact, Black Seed has an unprecedented strengthening effect upon the immune system, and it works in a host of other ways to promote optimum health and well being. In the following pages, we’ll examine how this remarkable herb came to earn its legendary status, including its recent resurgence in Western medicine. Though its efficacy is solidly backed by three thousand years of folklore, the past fifty years have seen a burgeoning amount of scientific data to further support Black Seed’s renowned healing properties. In fact, we now realize that a complex synergy of over 100 chemicals contained in Black Seed work together to enhance and strengthen the body’s immune system in a way no other singular, naturally occurring substance has ever been known to do. The very fact that Black Seed targets the vital workings of the immune system grants it power over a wide range of ailments, both as a treatment and preventative. Consequently, Black Seed has proved itself a forceful ally against many ailments such as those caused by bacteria, viruses, and common allergies. In addition, however, it has proved valuable against such fatal diseases as cancer and AIDS. When it comes to health and well-being, a strong immune system is vital, and the properties of Black Seed are key to regaining the efficient functioning of your immune system and maintaining its optimum effectiveness. Furthermore, Black Seed is a potent antihistamine, anti-tumor, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory agent, and the application of these actions alone provides relief for a multitude of ailments and disorders. In the coming pages, we’ll examine this "cure-all" in depth, including its history, its traditional applications, and the spread of Black Seed’s popularity from Eastern Asia throughout the globe. Furthermore, we’ll illustrate the science behind the herb’s efficacy and consider the chemicals found in Black Seed. Though the medical world was largely optimistic about the herb when its curative and preventative properties were first rediscovered in the West, the scientific research to date has granted evidence far surpassing even the highest expectations. We will also describe the general uses of Black Seed today and discuss how to apply Black Seed in your own life in order to get the most from its protective and restorative properties.
