BLACK SEED RESEARCH DOCUMENT Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard Allah's Apostle saying: "There is healing in Black Cumin for all diseases except death." (Sahih Bukhari 7:71:592) Mahfouz and El-Dakhakhny, prominent Egyptian researchers isolated the active principle nigellone from Black Seed's essential oil in 1959. There are over 100 different chemical components in the seed. Nigella and melatin are two ingredients in Black Seed that contribute greatly to its highly diversified powers. These substances work together to provide the digestive benefits that have been revered in Black Seed. They also promote cleansing and assist with overall eliminating action. Two of the most volatile oils found in Black seed are nigellone and thymoquinone which were first discovered in the herb in 1985. Nigellone offers both anti-spasmodic and bronchodilating properties which contribute to Black Seed's potency against respiratory ailments. It also acts as an antihistamine which helps to reduce the negative symptoms of allergy sufferers. Thymoquinone contains excellent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is also a strong anti-oxidant and helps cleanse the body of toxins. Both nigellone and thymoquinone work in conjunction with one another to enhance Black Seed's action against respiratory ailments. It also provides a healthy alternative to the more commonly prescribed cortisone based therapies used by allergy sufferers. Black seed provides a rich supply of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These ingredients play a key role in daily health and wellness. They help to regulate the metabolism, carry toxins to the skin's surface for elimination, balance insulin levels, regulate cholesterol, improve body circulation, and promote healthy liver function. A deficiency in polyunsaturated fatty acids can lead to a wide number of health problems including nervous system disorders, uninhibited growths, and skin diseases. Black seed contains over 100 valuable nutrients. It is comprised of approximately 21% protein, 38% carbohydrates, and 35% plant fats and oils. The active ingredients of black seed are nigellone, thymoquinone, and fixed oils. Black seed also contains significant proportions of protein, carbohydrates and essential fatty acids. Other ingredients include linoleic acid, oleic acid, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium, selenium, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin B2, niacin, and vitamin C. A 1994 study conducted in London by King's College revealed that Black Seed has properties that inhibit certain enzymes, which also inhibit the production of certain prostaglandins. This is more proof that the rich and complex combination of elements found in Black Seed work together for a total effect. Natural Healing Seed 2 | P a g e

History of Black Seed Only a few people in the U.S. have heard of the fascinating history and uses of the black seed. References to this seed can be found in some of the oldest religious and medical texts. Black Seed (Nigella sativa) is a tiny seed from an herbaceous annual, which reaches a height of twelve to eighteen inches. It is believed to be indigenous to the Mediterranean but is cultivated in other parts of the world including North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. The common English name for Nigella sativa is Love in a Mist. It is also called Black Cumin.
Black Seed was discovered in the tomb of the legendary Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen, implying that it played an important role in ancient Egyptian practices. Although its exact role in Egyptian culture is not known, we do know that items entombed with a king were carefully selected to assist him in the afterlife.
Because of its complex chemical structure it has over one hundred active ingredients black cumin has positive effects on the respiratory, immune, circulatory, digestive, and urinary systems. It is potentially effective against asthma, stomach ailments, and numerous skin conditions, ranging from acne to psoriasis. Its many uses has earned it the popular title "Seed of Blessing". Black seed as an energy source
Ibn Sina (980-1037), in describing the black seed as that which "stimulates the body's energy and helps recovery from fatigue or dispiritedness," still holds true for Tibb (Islamic Medicine) health practitioners today. The rich nutritional value contained in black seed as outlined by scientific research.

How does Black seed benefit? Anti-Inflammatory The mechanism by which Black seed exerts its anti-inflammatory action appears to be as a potent inhibitor of thromboxane B 2 and leukotrienes B 4, by inhibiting both cyclooxygenase and lipooxygenase, respectively. Allergies/Asthma In the United States, 150,000 patients are hospitalized because of asthma, and around 5 million patients have the disease. Bronchial asthma is a genetically based, multifactorial disease that is aggravated by a number of factors such as infections, allergen exposure, tobacco smoke and environmental pollutants. Stabilization of the arachidonic acid metabolism via modulation of prostaglandin and leukotriene production, and stabilization of interleukins and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) has been shown to safeguard the body from allergic reactions. Four Human studies showed that black seed oil is indeed capable of relieving symptoms of allergic rhinitis, atopic eczema, and bronchial asthma. Cancer Very recently, researchers at Kimmel Cancer at Jefferson in Philadelphia discovered that thymoquinone blocked pancreatic cancer cell growth and killed the cells by enhancing the process of programmed cell death. Cardiovascular Black seed oil could be effectively used to treat hypertension. In fact, the authors suggested that the diuretic action of black seed might be, at least partially, responsible for its antihypertensive action related to its volatile oils. Moreover, scientific evidence also indicates that black seed oil and thymoquinone are effective in reducing homocysteine levels. Evidence using animal models suggests that homocysteine causes direct oxidant injury to the vasculature, impairs the vasodilator and anticoagulation function of nitrous oxide, stimulates smooth muscle proliferation, interferes with clotting factors and increases oxidative stress. Black seed oil may offer an alternative for homcysteine reduction to those people that do not respond to folic acid, vitamins B12 and or B6. Natural Healing Seed 7 | P a g e
Diabetes Diabetes mellitus results in severe metabolic imbalances and pathological changes in many tissues. Oxidative stress has been shown to play an important role in the etiology of diabetes and diabetic complications. However, in a recent animal study, scientists found Nigella sativa and its pharmacologically active substance thymoquinone, affected blood glucose levels, and insulin. Furthermore, they suggested that the antioxidant activity of black seed may alleviate damage to b-cells in the pancreas. The study found less damage to tissues in diabetic animals treated with black seed and thymoquinone. Impotence Black seed increases the numbers of sperm and helps with fertility and performance for men and women with no side effects. (Helps preserve marriage and families!) Effects on the Immune System (AIDS) Several studies point to the effect of black seed and thymoquinone on the immune system by modulating the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators. Thymoquinone has also been shown to inhibit inflammation and oxidative stress in cells. The seeds have been shown to produce an increase in the ratio of helper to suppressor T cells and enhance natural killer cell activity in healthy volunteers. In the field of AIDS research, human clinical trials conducted at the Department of Biological and Medical Research Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia showed that Black Seed enhanced the ratio between helper T-cell by 55% with a 30% enhancement of NK cell activity. These findings suggest that Black Seed could play an important role in the treatment of cancer, AIDS, and other immune deficiency states. Parasites Black seed oil has been shown to possess antiparasitic properties comparable to those of some of the leading pharmaceuticals. In one study, black seed oil was effective in reducing the number of Schistosoma mansoni worms in the liver and decreased the total number of ova deposited in both the liver and the intestine. Furthermore, it increased the number of dead ova in the intestinal wall and markedly reduced the granuloma diameters. Administration of black seed oil concomitantly with the leading flatworm pharmaceutical, lowered further the number of dead ova than was observed when the drug was given alone, indicating that the plant oil potentiates the action of the drug.

Seizures Nearly 15% of childhood epilepsy cases are resistant to treatment. Many of the drugs used to treat epilepsy produce unwanted side effects or are capable of producing serious adverse events. When epilepsy remains uncontrolled, it is termed refractory or pharmacoresistant. A recent study found black seed oil has anticonvulsant effects and improved seizure control in children suffering from refractory epilepsy. Earlier animal studies have also demonstrated the anticonvulsant effects of thymoquinone. Researchers hypothesized that thymoquinone may have anticonvulsant activity in petit mal epilepsy probably through an opioid receptor-mediated increase in GABAergic tone. They have also suggested black seed's potent antioxidant properties may be responsible for preventing seizures as well. Ulcers and Gastroprotective Likewise, thymoquinone protected against the ulcerating effect of alcohol and mitigated most of the biochemical adverse effects induced by alcohol in gastric mucosa, but to a lesser extent than whole black seed. Researchers also hypothesized that thymoquinone's antihistaminic effect could play a role in preventing gastric injury as an antihistaminic effect has been shown to be an important preventive mechanism against gastric injury. Black seed as an energy source Ibn Sina (980-1037), in describing the black seed as that which "stimulates the body's energy and helps recovery from fatigue or disspiritedness," still holds true for Tibb (Islamic Medicine) health practitioners today.
