Research: Nigella sativa seed extract reduces hypertension

(NaturalNews) The seed of a traditional Middle Eastern medicinal plant known by the species name Nigella sativa has been shown to help lower blood pressure, among a plethora of other medicinal benefits.

Traditionally used as a spice and preservative as well as for its medicinal functions, Nigella sativa is also known by the names black seed, black cumin and fennel flower.

The study demonstrating Nigella sativa's benefits in managing high blood pressure was conducted by researchers from the Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences in Iran and published in the journal Fundamental & Clinical Pharmacology in 2008. In the randomized, double-blind study, participants suffering from mild hypertension (high blood pressure) were assigned to take either a placebo, 100 mg of Nigella sativa extract, or 200 mg of the extract twice per day. After eight weeks, the researchers found that both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lowered in participants taking the Nigella sativa extract, compared both with levels at the study's start and in the placebo group. A higher dose was found to result in a greater decrease in blood pressure.

Participants in the Nigella sativa groups also experienced significant reductions in levels of overall and LDL ("bad") cholesterol relative to the study's start and to the placebo group. No complications were observed.

Other benefits of Nigella sativa

Overall, 458 separate peer-reviewed studies on the effects of Nigella sativa have been published since 1964. According to GreenMedInfo.com, these studies have confirmed the seed's benefits as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal and anti-ulcer. It also protects the kidneys and increases insulin sensitivity (thereby helping fight diabetes).

Nigella sativa has also been shown to act as a potent pain reliever to help treat type 2 diabetes; to aid recovery from narcotic drug addiction; to prevent epileptic seizures; and even to protect against chemical weapons exposure.

Studies have also shown that Nigella sativa is a potent tool in managing allergies and asthma. A 2003 research review published in Phytotherapy Research found that in four separate studies, Nigella sativa led to improvement in the symptoms of allergies including hay fever, eczema and asthma, while also improving levels of triglycerides and HDL ("good") cholesterol.

Another study, published in Phytomedicine in 2010, found that Nigella sativa improved symptoms in asthma patients by acting directly to dilate the bronchial tubes, much like conventional asthma drugs do. According to a 2011 study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Nigella sativa also appears to dampen the hyper-responsiveness of the immune system that leads to asthma attacks, reducing the activity of white blood cells and inflammatory triggers.

Finally, the seed also has incredibly potent anti-cancer properties, in fact, and has been shown to stimulate the activity of cancer-fighting white blood cells known as neutrophil granulocytes. Studies have confirmed that regular ingestion of Nigella sativa seed or seed oil can help prevent the growth and spread of carcinogenic colon cells, and other studies have demonstrated its benefit in fighting other cancers.

Home use

According to Drug Information Online, Nigella sativa is non-toxic and safe for the majority of the population, although some people have experienced adverse reactions to applying of the seed oil directly to their skin. As with any supplement, you should check with your physician before beginning treatment with Nigella sativa, which may interact adversely with certain pharmaceutical drugs.

Nigella sativa has a spicy, nutty flavor and has traditionally been added directly to food in whole or ground form. You can also grind it up and mix it with water to create a drinkable gel, which can also be used as an egg replacement in baking.

Nigella Sativa (Habbatussauda) Sends Relief to Millions of Migraine Sufferers

(NaturalNews) If you have ever woken with a pounding headache or an excruciating migraine, then Nigella Sativa is right for you. The Greeks and the Arabs have been prescribing Nigella Sativa for over 2000 years in the treatment of headaches and it works quickly and efficiently. By simply applying the oil around the eyes and nose, the headache usually disappears within a short period of time. Nigella Sativa (also known as black seed) has been shown to be effective against Pancreatic Cancer, one of the most aggressive cancers known.

Nigella Sativa has over 100 chemical compounds and has Vitamins such as calcium, potassium, zinc, magnesium and Vitamins A, B, C, D and E in the seeds. Prophet Mohammad said, "Use this seed regularly, because it is a cure for every disease, except death." Nigella Sativa has been regarded as a true "Miracle Cure" and was found in King Tut's tomb, suggesting that even centuries ago, the Kings thought of it as a valuable plant and herb of blessings.

As soon as the person gets the first sign of an attack, they must take their first dose of Nigella Sativa. Nigella Sativa comes two ways, in the original small tiny black seeds(that need to be heated) and the oils. The oil is what is needed for the migraine, as the oil is very concentrated. For migraines, you need to take the oil and rub it on the back of your neck and over the eyes and at the hairline. Also, if you have pain at the top of your head, dab some there. Then take a few drops and put in each nostril, not deep inside but at the bottom of the nostril, and then breathe in deeply. This needs to be done 3 times a day or as long as the headache remains. You also need to take 1 teaspoon of the oil with one teaspoon of honey when you wake up in the morning. Wait one hour before eating anything for breakfast.

It is best to use raw honey if you have that available in your area. This remedy must be done on the onset of the migraine. It will help a full blown attack, but it is easier to get rid of in the beginning stages. Also, it is very important to avoid all triggers during this period. Nigella Sativa seeds are fairly inexpensive and can be obtained from many sources but many companies do not have the same quality.

If you buy the organic seeds that have not been prepared, you must heat them to get rid of the bitterness and the hotness. This is a very simple procedure, but you must take precautions and do a small amount at a time, till you understand the process completely. Take a small portion of the seeds and place them in a heavy bottom skillet. Turn the gas or electric burner on low and heat slightly, stirring constantly. You must keep tasting them until the hotness is gone. When the seeds are very bland, remove them from the stove. Be careful not to burn them as they do burn easily. After they have finished, place them in a coffee grinder or blender and mulch to a very fine powder. This powder can be put in honey at this time or in vegetarian capsules. Always use vegetarian capsules, as gelatin is made from pork.

To make the mixture with honey, fill the jar halfway up with honey and then begin adding small amount of the black seed mixture at a time. Keep stirring the honey and black seeds and add till the top is almost full. You want the mixture to be a very thick consistency. By the next day, the honey and black seed mixture will be thick, almost like candy - extremely delicious. You will have no problem eating your minimum of 2 teaspoons per day.

Note: Nigella Sativa is toxic in high doses, so moderation is the key here. Nigella Sativa will increase your energy and take away your fatigue. Never take the oil on a full stomach as it will cause you distress.

Black cumin oil is the most important oil you can put in your system

Cold pressed black cumin (habbatus sauda) oil (strong and pure oil)

(NaturalNews) According to Dr. Gary Null of the Progressive Radio Network (http://www.progressiveradionetwork.com), "Black cumin oil is probably the single most important oil you can put in your system. Every time you take black cumin you are stimulating your immune system to fight on your behalf and increase natural killer cells." Null was referring to its ability to improve the immune system, treat cancer and HIV successfully. No truer words were ever spoken. Black cumin is also known as Nigella sativa, black seeds and kalonji and has been healing maladies of the body for more than 2,000 years.

Although black cumin has been used for centuries, only during the last 40 years has the true potential of this remedy been realized. Originally, black cumin was used mainly for migraines, asthma and allergies. It has now been shown to be successful in stimulating the immune system, treating HIV and healing cancer tumors. These are three of the most worrisome problems people are faced with today, except for heart disease which black cumin has been shown to treat also.

Black cumin is a viable option for immunity and auto-immune diseases

When you look at the broad term "immunity," auto-immune diseases should also be included. These little black seeds have shown to improve the immune system by 72 percent in as few as four weeks. Two studies were done in 1987 at the I.I.M.E.R. in Panama City, Florida to verify the immune building effects of black cumin. The volunteer groups were given one gram of black cumin twice a day or a placebo. After four weeks, the end results showed a 72 percent increase in T-cell ratios and cell functional activity in most participants.

Black cumin is now a viable option to treat and/or heal people afflicted with auto-immune diseases which are a leading cause of death and disability for many. In 2010, there were approximately 23.5 million Americans afflicted with auto-immune diseases which include more than 80 serious diseases. Some of the types are rare and some quite common like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Celiac disease and Crohn's disease.

Still, black cumin heals more than just auto-immune diseases such as cancer, diabetes, baldness, asthma and migraines. It eliminates parasites and even helps with menstrual blood flow.

Black cumin annihilates pancreatic cancer tumors

Dr. Hwyda Arafat at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson conducted several studies using Nigella sativa (black cumin) to treat pancreatic cancer. The results were astounding with an 80 percent cancer tumor cell death. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in America with an overall 4.6 percent survival rate over a five-year period. Dr. Arafat went on to say, "Nigella sativa helps treat a broad array of diseases, including some immune and inflammatory disorders. Previous studies also have shown anticancer activity in prostate and colon cancers, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects."

How to take black cumin and dosage requirements

It is imperative to purchase organic, cold pressed oil that is free of additives. To improve your immune system, take one teaspoon (or 2 capsules) daily mixed with raw honey or fresh juice one hour before breakfast. For cancer, take three teaspoons daily in divided doses combined with a healthy cancer diet and exercise program. Both immune problems and cancer are treated with the addition of fresh garlic. Black cumin should be taken daily as a preventative measure for all diseases.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Black Seeds

APAKAH HABBATUS SAUDA ??

Habbatus Sauda disebut dalam hadis Sahih sebagai ubat segala jenis penyakit kecuali mati. Ia adalah biji-biji kecil berwarna hitam, kerana itu ia dinamakan habbatus sauda (biji hitam). Nama saintifiknya adalah Nigella Sativa.

Ia tumbuh di pelbagai belahan dunia termasuk Saudi, Afrika Utara dan sebahagian Asia. Namun ia banyak didapati di kawasan Mediterranian dan di kawasan beriklim gurun.

Habbatus sauda merupakan bunga fennel dari keluarga Ranunculaceae. Saiz biji-bijinya sekitar 1-2mm, berbentuk trigonal, memiliki rasa yang kuat dan pedas.

Jenis bunganya ada dua, satu berwarna ungu kebiru-biruan dan satu lagi berwarna putih. Bunganya tumbuh pada cabang manakala daunnya saling tumbuh bersebelahan secara berpasangan. Daun di bahagian bawah bentuknya kecil dan pendek, manakala daun bahagian atas lebih panjang (6 - 10 cm). Batang bunga tersebut boleh mencapai ketinggian 12 -18 inci.

Ia adalah tumbuhan biseksual iaitu berkembangbiak sendiri, membentuk sebuah kapsul buah yang mengandungi biji. Apabila kapsul buah matang, ia akan terbuka dan biji yang ada di dalamnya akan terkena udara dan berubah menjadi hitam.

Nama lain bagi Habbatus Sauda selain Nigella Sativa adalah Al-Karawiyyah as-Sauda’, Al-Kamoun al-Aswad, Al-Syuniz, black cumin, kerosene, coal oil, carazna.

Berdasarkan kajian sains akhir-akhir ini membuktikan ia mengandungi pelbagai zat yang sangat diperlukan tubuh.

Nigella Sativa pertama ditemui di daerah Tutankhamen, Mesir dan memiliki peranan penting dalam amalan kehidupan Mesir Kuno. Ia liar di negara Mediteranian, lalu dikembangbiakkan di Mesir dan Syria. Raja-raja pada masa itu sangat berhati-hati dalam menggunakan tanaman terbaik sebagai ubat.

Dioscoredes, ahli fizik Yunani abad pertama melaporkan bahawa Habbatussauda dipakai untuk mengubati sakit kepala, hidung tersumbat, sakit gigi, dan penyakit dalaman. Ia juga digunakan ketika menstruasi dan meningkatkan penghasilan susu ibu.

Tokoh Muslim, Al-Biruni (973-1048), yang menggabungkan ubat-ubatan natural India dan Cina menyebut bahawa Habbatussauda adalah biji-biji yang digunakan sebagai bahan nutrisi pada abad ke 10 dan 11 Masihi.

Dalam sistem perubatan di Greco-Arab/Unani-Tibb, yang berasal dari Hippocrates, Galen dan Ibnu Sina, Habbatussauda dilaporkan sebagai penyembuh yang sangat bernilai dalam merawat fungsi pencernaan dan hepatitis yang digambarkan sebagai stimulan untuk kondisi-kondisi berbeza, dan meredakan demam.

Ibnu Sina (980-1037), dalam karya terbesarnya The Canon of Medicine, yang dianggap sebagai buku terkenal di dunia kedoktoran baik di Timur atau Barat, menyatakan Habbatussauda bermanfaat menstimulasi energi tubuh dan membantu penyembuhan dari keletihan atau kurang semangat.

Pelbagai penelitian membuktijan Habbatussauda dapat meningkatkan sistem imun tubuh jika dimakan selalu.

Di negara Timur Tengah dan Timur Jauh selama berabad-abad menggunakan Habbatussauda untuk mengubati penyakit ringan termasuk asma dan bronkitis, rematik dan luka radang, meningkatkan penghasilan susu ibu, mengubati gangguan pencernaan, membantu menjaga sistem kekebalan tubuh, meningkatkan kemampuan pencernaan dan pembuangan, dan melawan jangkitan parasit. Minyaknya digunakan untuk mengubati penyakit kulit seperti ekzema, dan radang serta mampu mengubati gejala pening/pitam.
