Black seed oil has been shown to possess antiparasitic properties comparable to those of some of the leading pharmaceuticals. In one study, black seed oil was effective in reducing the number of Schistosoma mansoni worms in the liver and decreased the total number of ova deposited in both the liver and the intestine. Furthermore, it increased the number of dead ova in the intestinal wall and markedly reduced the granuloma diameters.



Administration of black seed oil concomitantly with the leading flatworm pharmaceutical, lowered further the number of dead ova than was observed when the drug was given alone, indicating that the plant oil potentiates the action of the drug.

I have suffered from allergies all my life

"I have suffered from allergies all my life. I took a small sample from a friend during a bad attack. The next morning I rushed to buy my own supply. It really worked a miracle in me within 24 hours.
