Black Seed – The Remedy For Everything But Death.
This humble,
but immensely powerful seed, kills MRSA, heals the chemical weapon poisoned
body, and stimulates regeneration of the dying beta cells within the diabetic’s
pancreas.
The seeds of
the annual flowering plant, Nigella Sativa, have been prized for their healing
properties since time immemorial. While frequently referred to among
English-speaking cultures as Roman coriander, black sesame, black cumin, black
caraway and onion seed, it is known today primarily as black seed, which is at
the very least an accurate description of its physical appearance.
The earliest
record of its cultivation and use come from ancient Egypt. Black seed oil, in
fact, was found in Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamen tomb, dating back to approximately
3,300 years ago.[i] In Arabic cultures, black cumin is known as Habbatul
barakah, meaning the “seed of blessing.” It is also believed that the Islamic
prophet Mohammed said of it that it is “a remedy for all diseases except
death.”
Many of
black cumin’s traditionally ascribed health benefits have been thoroughly
confirmed in the biomedical literature. In fact, since 1964, there have been
458 published, peer-reviewed studies referencing it.
We have
indexed salient research, available to view on our Black Seed (Nigella Sativa)
page, on well over 40 health conditions that may be benefited from the use of
the herb, including over 20 distinct pharmacological actions it expresses, such
as: – Analgesic (Pain-Killing)
–
Anti-Bacterial
–
Anti-Inflammatory
– Anti-Ulcer
–
Anti-Cholinergic
–
Anti-Fungal
–
Ant-Hypertensive
–
Antioxidant
–
Antispasmodic
– Antiviral
–
Bronchodilator
–
Gluconeogenesis Inhibitor (Anti-Diabetic)
–
Hepatoprotective (Liver Protecting)
–
Hypotensive
– Insulin
Sensitizing
– Interferon
Inducer
–
Leukotriene Antagonist
–
Renoprotective (Kidney Protecting)
– Tumor
Necrosis Factor Alpha Inhibitor
These 22
pharmacological actions are only a subset of a far wider number of beneficial
properties intrinsic to the black seed. While it is remarkable that this seed
has the ability to positively modulate so many different biological pathways,
this is actually a rather common occurrence among traditional plant medicines.
Black seed
has been researched for very specific health conditions. Some of the most
compelling applications include:
Type 2
Diabetes:
Two grams of
black seed a day resulted in reduced fasting glucose, decreased insulin
resistance, increased beta-cell function, and reduced glycosylated hemoglobin
(HbA1c) in human subjects.
Helicobacter
Pylori Infection:
Black seeds
possess clinically useful anti-H. pylori activity, comparable to triple
eradication therapy.
Epilepsy:
Black seeds
were traditionally known to have anti-convulsive properties. A 2007 study with
epileptic children, whose condition was refractory to conventional drug
treatment, found that a water extract significantly reduced seizure activity.

Moringa oleifera
Moringa oleifera is a highly valued plant, distributed in many
countries of the tropics and subtropics. It has an impressive range of
medicinal uses with high nutritional value. Different parts of this plant contain
a profile of important minerals, protein, vitamins, beta-carotene, amino acids
and various phenolics.
The Moringa plant provides a rich and rare combination of
zeatin, quercetin, beta-sitosterol, caffeoylquinic acid and kaempferol. In
addition to its compelling water purifying powers and high nutritional value,
M. oleifera is very important for its medicinal value.
Some parts of this plant such as the leaves, roots, seed, fruit,
flowers and immature pods act as cardiac and circulatory stimulants, possess
antitumor, antipyretic, antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer,
antispasmodic, diuretic, antihypertensive, cholesterol lowering, antioxidant,
antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antibacterial and antifungal activities, and
are being employed for the treatment of different ailments in the indigenous
system of medicine.
These are some of the uses of Moringa Oleifera:
- for Diabetes Relief
- for Healthy Skin
- for Nutrition
- To improve sensory perception
- To sleep better
- For decreased depression and anxiety
- cancer - detoxification
- water
