History of Back Cumin*

Nigella sativa has been one the most revered medicinal seeds in our history. Black cumin seeds are mentioned in the Bible as well as in the words of the Prophet Mohammed. Over the past 40 years, more than 200 studies have been conducted in universities on these amazing seeds.The Greek physician Dioscorides used black cumin seeds in the treatment of headaches and toothaches. Mohammed said "black cumin cures every disease but death itself." The reason for the many healing properties of black cumin might be found in the complex chemical structure of the seed. These tiny seeds have over one hundred+ different chemical constituents, including abundant sources of all the essential fatty acids! Though it is the oil that is most often used medicinally, the seeds are often used whole in cooking—curries, pastries, cheeses and more.The pure oils of black cumin are antimicrobial and helps to rid the intestines of worms.The most dramatic healing of thse amazing seeds are achieved with asthma and allergy patients .With a seed containing so many constituents and having such a long ethno-botanical history, it is no surprise that many throughout the Mediterranean and Asia believe that black cumin is basically "good for all that ails us."

The claims are not at all outrageously far-fetched if one considers how complete the seeds are in terms of their many chemical constituents.

The first major study of black cumin for cancer prevention and treatment was done by scientists at Cancer Immuno-Biology Laboratory in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. They concluded that a healthy immune system will detect & destroy cancer cells before the cancer endangers the patient. The immune system does this by supporting increased production of immune cells, bone marrow cells, and B-cells that produce antibodies. Black cumin stimulates the neutrophil activity in your body. These are the short-lived immune cells that are normally found in bone marrow but mobilize into action when there is a bacterial infection. Extracts of black cumin have also been shown to modulate production of interleukins, a quality it shares with some other highly revered herbs like ginseng, mistletoe, astragalus, cat's claw and garlic!

In animal studies two-thirds of the mice that had been given black cumin seed oil were still alive 30 days after intentional efforts to cause cancer in the subject groups. Black cumin is particularly useful in aggressive cancers whose growth depends on angiogenesis.





The tiny black cumin seeds can be used to make tea by simply pouring hot water over the seeds and letting them steep for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 teaspoons make a nice cup of tea. Or you can add a teaspoon of the seed to your favorite tea or to coffee! The seeds can be added to breads or casseroles, used in canning, or extracted in wine or vinegar. Many people grind the seeds and mix them with honey or sprinkle them on salads. They make a wonderful addition to dressings and even stir fry dishes! The seeds mixed with honey and garlic are excellent tonics for people with asthma or coughs as well as those who want to enhance their immunity during cold and flu season or when an infection is setting in.*
