The Natural Wonder that is Black Seed Oil

Also known as Black Cumin, Black Seed oil is a substance with an incredible amount of medicinal qualities that has yet to fully take hold in the western world. It is a completely different case in the Asia however, as it is created from the Nigella Sativa plant, which is indigenous to the area.

Once cultivated, the plant can be used for a range of medicinal purposes, which we will go into shortly. First however, we look at the origin of organic Black Seed oil and how it was used during the ages.

The History

Records of the use of pure Black Seed oil for medicinal reasons goes back more than 3,000 years, with references of the oil being found in use in ancient Egyptian times. The Assyrians called Black Seed oil ‘tin tir’, drinking it for an upset stomach and applying it topically for a range inflammatory conditions of the nose, mouth and eyes. Such were the panacean qualities of the oil, it could also be used for sores, bites and rashes.

In fact, all through the Egyptian reign, the many health benefits of organic Black Seed oil were well known to the people, with the substance being treated as an essential part of daily life. Its healing and protective nature was so well regarded that there weren’t many ailments that it couldn’t help to treat.

The Romans

As we moved into the era of the Roman empire, ‘tin tir’ was still widely used to promote health, but with the new name of ‘Greek Coriander’, which the people of the day would consume as dietary supplement.

The oil would even become mentioned by the Great Mohammed in Islam, being described as being able to ‘cure everything but death’. If any more evidence were needed that the people of some of the world’s greatest civilisations held pure Black Seed oil in high regard, then knowing that there was even a bottle of it in King Tutankhamun's sarcophagus makes it even more clear.

So, what was it that made all of these great people revere it as much as they did?

The truth is something that is still helping people live healthier, happy lives today in that it is still one of the most beneficial oils in existence for the promotion of health. The width and breadth of the ailments and illnesses that organic Black Seed oil is able to treat is quite staggering and not something that has an equal in modern medicine.
