Nigella Sativa or Black Seed has long been known for its medicinal value. The ancient Egyptians and Assyrians recognized the power of this healing herb as early as 3000 years ago. Its oil, which has a rich composition of more than 100 compounds including essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, was actually known as the “Pharaohs’ Oil,” and was widely used to treat the various ailments and infections of these powerful leaders.

Physicians as far back as the 1st century used Black Seed to treat such conditions as headaches, nasal congestion, toothache, intestinal worms, fatigue, and low milk production.

Today, more and more medical scientists and professionals are recognizing the power of this amazing little seed. Research is showing that Black Seed can both strengthen and stabilize the immune system, and its potential healing and prevention power is causing excitement throughout the medical industry. More recently, it was even recommended as an herbal remedy by the World Health Organization.
