This shrub is extracted from N. sativa seeds and has over the years been used in traditional medicine for over 2,000 because of its many therapeutic benefits. Studies suggest it may have numerous applications for health, including the treatment of asthma and aiding weight loss.
This article shows the potential health benefits of black seed oil, as well as any possible side effects and dosing information.
In traditional medicine, black seed oil has been used in the treatment of a variety of health conditions. As a result, it has sometimes been referred to as “panacea” — or universal healer.
While not all of its proposed medicinal uses have been proven to be effective, black seed oil and its plant compounds have been linked to several benefits for health.
Black seed oil is high in antioxidants, plant compounds that help protect cells against damage that is caused by unstable molecules called free radicals.
We all know that Antioxidants are important for health, as research has shown that they can reduce inflammation and protect against conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer (11Trusted Source).
One study in 80 adults with asthma found that taking 500 mg of black seed oil capsules twice a day for 4 weeks significantly improved asthma control.
At the end of the study, those taking the black seed oil had lost significantly more weight and waist circumference than the placebo group. The oil group also experienced significant improvements in triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. While promising, the overall research on black seed oil in reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels is limited. More research is needed to confirm the optimal dose.
