Black Seed Oil Benefit...A Powerful Antioxidant That Can Also Help You Overcome Allergies With Anti-Fungal Properties.





Black seed oil...have you ever heard of it before? Not so well known is it?

For over two thousand years the West Asian plant, black seed (also known as black cumin), from the buttercup family, has been traditionally used by various cultures throughout the world as a remedy for several diseases and ailments and to improve general health.

The ancient Egyptians knew all about black seed and described it as a cure for all problems and diseases.

Black seed oil is pressed from the seeds of the black seed plant and the black seed oil benefit is quite amazing from cell-protecting to controlling allergic reactions and anti-fungal effects...through to cosmetic use in hair and skin care.

Recent research has concluded that black seed oil could prove to be an effective ingredient to enhance treatment of allergic diseases.

Other benefits are to the prostate. Phytosterol beta sitosterol is a key ingredient in black seed oil, and, although it is not exactly clear how it benefits it, research does indicate that it may reduce inflammation and block the build up of cholesterol in the prostate gland itself. However it does not appear to alter the size of the prostate.

Protect Your Body From Dangerous Free Radicals Like Superoxide.





Ok, so we all know what free radicals can do to our bodies? Well the most powerful and dangerous of the free radicals is called....(trumpet sounds and curtain raise)....Superoxide!

As we know, free radicals need only one electron from a stable molecule to stabilise itself. But a greedy superoxide free radical isn't satisfied with just one electron to balance itself, no, it requires three! Yes three electrons to balance itself.

Conditions particularly associated with superoxide free radical damage are...

  • Arthritis
  • Cancer
  • Heart Disease
  • HIV
  • Neurological (brain and nerves)Disorders
  • Macular Degeneration (eyes)
... ...So enter our hero, black seed oil. Apparently it acts as a potent free radical scavenger of superoxide.

The word fungus has a negative and embarrasing reputation, however it is quite common for many of us to have it and includes....
  • Athlete's Foot
  • Nail Infections
  • Ringworm
  • Thrush


Well black seed oil can offer an alternative to the questionable anti-fungal medications and the potential side-effects they can bring such as skin irritation.

One of the major active components of it is an important phytonutrient called thymoquinone(TQ). Guess what? TQ is the big player in the anti-fungal war.

Black seed oil is great for healthy hair (taken internally) by regulating various bodily functions. It can also be used topically in a daily skin care routine. Try it as a therapeutic massage oil too.

Respiratory problems? Try rubbing some on your chest.

Pregnant? A word of warning, black seed oil is not recommended for use during pregnancy.

Good news for the UK market because black seed is now available from 2006.
