Black Seed Improved Seizure Control

Black Seed Improved Seizure Control


A recent study found black seed oil has anticonvulsant effects and improved seizure control in children suffering from refractory epilepsy

Nearly 15% of childhood epilepsy cases are resistant to treatment. Many of the drugs used to treat epilepsy produce unwanted side effects or are capable of producing serious adverse events. When epilepsy remains uncontrolled, it is termed refractory or pharmacoresistant. A recent study found black seed oil has anticonvulsant effects and improved seizure control in children suffering from refractory epilepsy. Earlier animal studies have also demonstrated the anticonvulsant effects of thymoquinone. Researchers hypothesized that thymoquinone may have anticonvulsant activity in petit mal epilepsy probably through an opioid receptor-mediated increase in GABAergic tone. They have also suggested black seed's potent antioxidant properties may be responsible for preventing seizures as well.

TESTIMONIALS



After taking the gel tabs for only a few weeks, I noticed several changes.

After taking the gel tabs for only a few weeks, I noticed several changes. My cholesterol that had been high was now under control. I put away my prescription for a well known allergy medication. And so far... flu season has passed me by.
