Hi Bill/Lisa/anyone... Has anyone heard of Black seed oil and if so is it safe to use for people with autoimmune illness etc. Thank you guys. Awaiting an early response.

Hi Lauren... Black seed oil has been used for centuries in Muslim healing. It has a remarkable battery of medicinal uses.

But don't confuse Black Cumin Seed oil with Black Seed oil. There are products made in India that are purported to be made from nigella sativa -- but black cumin seed is not nigella sativa. So beware.

I am confused by your response..Is black cumin seed oil and black seed oil the same?

Black seed oil, also known as black cumin, comes from the Nigella sativa (N. sativa) L. (Ranunculaceae) plant and has been used in plant medicine for thousands of years. The oil is made by extracting it from the seeds of the plant.

Hi Shane... I bought my Organic Black Seed oil from ebay.com.

I originally bought the oil because it is a very useful anti-fungal -- it kills candida -- and so I wanted to try it. Black Seed oil also contains omega 3 and omega 6 oils in a similar ratio to flaxseed oil -- but this oil also contains significant amounts of amino acids and vitamins that all tend to act synergistically for the benefit of the body.

I usually take a tablespoon of this oil before meals once or twice a day. The oil has many beneficial properties and when I started using it, my vision seemed to improve -- my eyes don't get tired so quickly from reading now. This oil also seems to have the ability to cure allergies and is therefore highly beneficial to the immune system and the intestines in this respect.

Thank you Bill so much!! Your quick reply and help to locate the correct oil is really appreciated. I wonder Bill why anyone would be using any other products on here as the list is endless to the cures of this Oil, amazing stuff, will let you know how it works for me. Shane

Hi Bill of San Fernando Philippine, can you email me where you buy your Black seed oil, because I'm trying to search for it, and it seem that some Company are identifying Black cumin oil is the same as Black seed oil.

Replied By Bill (San Fernando, Philippines) on 04/28/2014

Hi Albert...I bought my organic Black Seed Oil from ebay.com. See this link.

There is also a group of Indian shops off United Nations Avenue. Turn from Roxas Blvd and head down UN Avenue until you see the Unilever building on your left before the overpass, then turn off right into a small forecourt area to park. There are several Indian delis, grocery shops and Indian pharmacies there. In India, black seed oil is commonly used for cooking, so you might also be able to buy black seed oil there.

Be careful you do not buy black cumin seed oil or black caraway seed oil -- these are not made black seed. Black seed is also known by its latin plant name of Nigella sativa.

Hi Bill,

I wondered if you know if this is the correct Black Seed Oil, because it says it is the latin name you mention but also says black cumin seed. Thank you.

Hi Rsw... The Black Cumin Seed product in the link looks like the correct black seed oil. Unfortunately, Black Cumin Seed label seems to be synonymous with Black Seed and both can be used in the Middle East to describe Black Seed oil. They also mention, in their product description, that the black cumin seed oil is derived from the Nigella sativa plant and is 100% pure -- this is what you want. They also make it from Egyptian black seed which is the best source by far.

Replied By Rsw (Uniontown, Oh) on 04/29/2014

Thank you, Bill. I have purchased a few products recently that I later found out were the wrong ones, so I'm glad this was OK. We are so thankful to you, Ted and the others who share your knowledge so freely to help us.

Hi, the source (country) of the blacks seeds is very important as this is affected by climates, soil, fertiliser. Additionally the method of pressing is important.

The Nigella sativa plant is native to the Middle East and undoubtedly the climate there produces the best quality seed. Any flowering crop grown where fluctuations in temperature occur over a 24 hour period will lock in high concentrations of sugars, protein and oils. The method of extraction should be pure cold pressed (avoid any oils which do not state this explicitly).

I don't know where you live, I bought black seed oil in Stratford, East London (old shopping centre) there is a health shop opposite footlocker. For chest problems try fennel seeds in boiling kettle water in a cup. Brew this for about ten minutes and drink the yellow colour liquid.

Does your Black Seed Oil smell like turpentine? Does it taste really bad? I take it then chase it with a smoothie but I cannot get the taste out of my mouth all day.

Replied By Tina (Arizona) on 09/07/2023
I didn't care for the taste either so I bought capsules with the liquid (BSO) in them. So much better. I also bought the liquid to use topically. Got them both from Amazon.

Hi

Yes, Blackseed Oil has many different names all around the world.

It works no matter where you live.

Good wishes

Gary
