Black seed oil is known to have several health benefits due to the presence of phytonutrients (thymoquinone (TQ), thymohydroquinone (THQ) and thymol), essential fatty acids (linoleic, oleic, palmitic), natural sterols, minerals, and vitamins. These phytonutrients and fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, analgesic, immunomodulator, anticancer, and antidiabetic properties. Many scientific studies have shown promising evidence of the health benefits of black seed oil in diabetes, metabolic syndrome, blood pressure, cancer, and skin conditions and improving respiratory, gastrointestinal, immunity, joint, liver, and kidney health.

Black seed oil has been used for centuries for improving skin and hair and for massage applications. In traditional medicinal systems, Black seeds are also known as ‘seeds of blessings’ that can cure everything except death, and the oil is used as a natural remedy to treat various conditions.

In traditional Ayurveda, Black seed oil is used to pacify and reduce the ‘Vata’ and ‘Kapha’ dosha. Ayurvedic followers recommend 1/2-1 teaspoon of black seed oil per day.
