Black cumin seeds have a particularly long and strong history use
in Egypt.
Black cumin seeds were found in the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh
Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt from 1333 BC to 1324 BC. The
son of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, Tut's tomb is the most
complete Egyptian tomb ever discovered.
When archaeologists found and examined the tomb of Egyptian
boy-king Tutankhamen (King Tut), they found a bottle of
black cumin
oil (Nigella sativa; Zohary and Hopf, 2001) not
to be mistaken with common cumin seed (Cuminum cyminum).
It is a spice that grows in the Mediterranean region and in
Western Asian countries including India, Pakistan and
Afghanistan.
It has been suggested that the black cumin was needed in
the afterlife. The Egyptians
supposedly put the seeds in his tomb so that he may have
excellent health in the afterlife.
It is, therefore, no wonder that they were thought to be
worthy accompaniments in the ‘From Life here to Eternity’ by
the pharaoh as described earlier.

One of the earliest references to the black
cumin is seen in the Old Testament book of
Isaiah, in the Holy Bible. Isaiah 28: 25-27
(NKJV) reads as follows:
“When he
has leveled its surface, does he not sow the
black cumin and scatter the cumin, plant the
wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed
place, and the spelt in its place?”
“For He instructs him in right judgment, his God
teaches him.”
“For the black cumin is not threshed with a
threshing sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over
the cumin; but the black cumin is beaten out
with a stick, And the cumin with a rod.” |

NIGELLA SATIVA: Black cumin is a part of
the buttercup family and the seeds are dark, thin, and
crescent-shaped when whole. The seeds have been used for
many centuries in the Middle East, the Mediterranean and
India. Today, black cumin seeds are used as a seasoning
spice in different cuisines across the world due to their
nutty flavor. Besides their culinary uses, black cumin seeds
also have a wealth of important health benefits and are one
of the most cherished medicinal seeds in history.
CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS: The seeds of the black cumin plant contain over 100 chemical
compounds, including some yet to be identified. In addition
to what is believed to be the primary active ingredient,
crystalline nigellone, black cumin seeds contain:
thymoquinone, beta sitosterol, myristic acid, palmitic acid,
palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid,
linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, protein, vitamin B1,
vitamin B2, vitamin B3, folic acid, calcium, iron, copper,
zinc, and phosphorous.
| The
black cumin herb goes by many different names. For
example, in old Latin it is called as ‘Panacea’ meaning
‘cure all’ while in Arabic it is termed as ‘Habbah Sawda’
or ‘Habbat el Baraka’ translated as ‘Seeds of blessing’.
In India it is called as Kalonji while in China it is
referred as Hak Jung Chou (Aggarwal
et al, 2008).
ANTIOXIDANTS: Hundreds of studies have been conducted on black cumin which have
shown that compounds from the seeds help fight diseases by
boosting the production of bone marrow, natural interferon,
and immune cells. |

Several of the studies have shown that black cumin seed extract
could assist individuals with autoimmune disorders and could
possibly help to fight cancer. One recent study on black
cumin seed oil demonstrated that it was effective against
pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest and most difficult
to treat cancers.
Black
cumin is one of the very few botanicals that have shown
such effectiveness.
ESSENTIAL
FATTY ACIDS: One of black cumin's most popular and effective uses is the
treatment of diseases related to the respiratory system:
including asthma, bronchitis, rheumatism and cold symptoms.
The seeds help increase body tone, stimulate menstrual
period, and increase the flow of breast milk in nursing
mothers.
PAIN FREE 24/7: Black cumin seed oil helps with physical
pain, calm the nervous system, quells colic
pain, stimulates urine production, helps treat pertussis,
improves digestion and helps prevent and lower high blood
pressure.
The seeds are very effective in curing abscesses and tumors of the
eye, abdomen and liver, probably due in great part to the
anti-tumor compound beta-sitosterol found in the seeds.
Black cumin also:
- stimulates energy and helps
in recovery from fatigue and low spirits.
- is an effective cure for skin
conditions such as allergies, eczema, acne, psoriasis and
boils.
- is anti-parasitic.
- treats flatulence,
diarrhea, hemorrhoids, constipation and dysentery.
NOTE: Those who decide to use black cumin seed oil
should check labels and product information carefully. Black
cumin is commonly referred to as black seed oil, black onion
seed, black caraway, black sesame seed, and other names, but
only Nigella Sativa is true black cumin.
And it is
important to have the husk, the flour and the oil all in one
product. Because only the husk contains the all-important
P-53 onco gene.
