Its use is one of the methods of Islamic medicine, just like hijama. So how are the healing properties of cumin oil and black cumin seeds provided? Let’s consider this issue in more detail.
Black cumin oil: pharmacological properties and uses
Black cumin oil has a high concentration of many potent active biological substances, vitamins and minerals necessary for humans. Saturation with a natural antibiotic and various types of natural stimulants of the immune system allows black cumin oil to have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. It also acts as a means of fighting external infections – parasites and fungi.
The general analgesic and soothing effect is complemented by the antispasmodic properties of black cumin oil. Its use in the treatment of gastrointestinal ailments and diseases of the gallbladder is explained by its choleretic and diuretic properties. Killing bacteria that cause various diseases (including cholera), black cumin oil has a local, rather than general effect, that is, it does not affect the development of normal intestinal microflora and does not cause dysbiosis.
The saturation of black cumin oil with Omega-type acids, as well as the essential oils and vitamins of groups C, E and A contained in it, make it indispensable in the prevention of fragility of blood vessels, in medical measures to strengthen them and increase their elasticity. This, in turn, helps to lower blood pressure, prevents blood clots, and reduces blood cholesterol levels. Coconut oil has a similar effect on the body.
Saturated fatty acids, phytosterols and flavonoids, vitamins A and E, zinc allow using black cumin oil to improve gastric motility and increase appetite, as well as treat inflammatory processes without disturbing the balance of intestinal microflora.
Of course, it should be remembered that all medicinal products have a beneficial effect only when used correctly. Likewise, cumin: the benefits and harms of this remedy stand side by side, and the main factor in the successful use of cumin oil is, as always, the dosage of the drug, which can best be determined by a qualified doctor.
