Commonly referred to as black cumin or caraway, black seed is actually more of a description than a proper name, yet is preferred because it helps to distinguish it. Many health experts claim that it is, indeed, a true healer in many forms; able to help cure almost every illness known. People have used the seed to make medicine for over 2000 years and more than 600 peer-reviewed studies have validated most empirical evidence.
Besides black cumin and caraway, black seeds are also referred to as black sesame, onion seed and roman coriander.
Black Seed (Nigella Sativa) is capable of producing over 20 distinct pharmacological actions it expresses, such as:
- Analgesic (Pain-Killing)
- Anti-Bacterial
- Anti-Inflammatory
