Black Seed Oil
History
Black seed has been around for centuries from various eastern countries and has gradually made its way towards the West. It is known by many names such as: black cumin seed, nigella sativa, habba barakah (the blessed seed), black seed, black caraway, black sesame, black coriander, and blackseed.
From religious texts, to the “Father of Early Modern Medicine,” Ibn Sina, black seed has been prized for its fast and powerful effects in healing various ailments. We can even trace the use of blackseeds to the era of Ancient Egypt. Traces of blackseeds have been found in the tomb of King Tut and used as a beauty regimen for Cleopatra.
Countries in the Middle east and Southeast Asia have used black seed in its solid and liquid oil form and has become a customary herb that is found in almost every pantry for cooking and health needs.
