Reader Question: Are Black Seeds (Nigella Sativa), Their Oil, Ointments & More Good For Me? What do the Studies Say?
Nigella sativa is available in form of seeds, oils and all sorts of ointments and for many of them there are studies suggesting that they work. SuppVersity reader Amaan Mueen asks on Facebook: "In traditional Oriental medicine it's said that blackseed is a cure for everything except death, is there any truth to that?" I probably don't give away too much, when I tell you that blackseed (also "black seed") aka "nigella sativa" is not going to cure everything, but death, but that does not mean that modern Western medicine has not been able to confirm what Oriental "doctors" have known for centuries. In the following I am going to present an allegedly cursory overview of the existing evidence with a focus on those health benefits that could be relevant for the average and extra-ordinary SuppVersity reader.
