10 Astonishing Ways You Can Fight Cancer and Other Diseases Using Black Seed Oil

10 Astonishing Ways You Can Fight Cancer and Other Diseases Using Black Seed Oil

1. Treatment of Cancer

In two completely separate studies in 2011, both Saudi-Arabian and Chinese researchers reviewed scientific literature for medical use of black seed oil with cancer. The researchers reconfirmed that the black seed oil had safe and natural anti-cancer property. They also noted that the oil has been in use for centuries in treatment of health complications. Thymoquinone-the extracted component from black seed and the oil from the black seeds are effective in treatment of diseases such as kidney, asthma, diabetes, and cardiovascular complications and most important of all, cancer.

2. Used in Radiation Treatments

Turkish researchers in 2014 did a study and reported that black seed oil could be helpful to the people who are receiving radiation treatment. The study indicated that cancer patients being treated for radiation suffer severe side effects both during and after the treatment. The Turkish researchers studied the effects on irradiation and the addition of black seed oil on the antioxidant/oxidant system in the liver tissues of irradiated rats.
The analysis of the data from the research showed that black seed oil has antioxidant effects and reduces oxidative stress markers, which also supplements the antioxidant capacity in the rat’s liver tissue. The use of black seed oil before radiation and ten days afterwards protected the rats from the harmful effects of radiation. The oil can be used with human cancer patients who undergo radiation treatment to protect them from oxidative stress and mitigate other harmful side effects of radiation.

3. Black Seed Oil Interferes With the Uncontrolled Cell Growth and Kills Liver Cancer Cells.

In 2013, Indian researchers investigated the use of thymoquinone, which one of the compound extracted from the black seeds. They found out that thymoquinone had a beneficial role in liver cancer treatment. The compound had the ability to prevent cancer cells from proliferating.
A study in Egypt in 2011 also proved that black seed when combined with honey were very effective in reducing the viability of liver cancer cells. Black seed oil and honey also induced cell death through apoptosis and improved the antioxidant status of the of cells.

4. Black Seed Oil Destroys Lung Cancer Cells

In 2014, Saudi Arabian researchers discovered that black seed oil and the extract from black seed could significantly destroy the liver cancer cells and alter the whole cellular morphology. From the data that they collected, the researchers concluded that black seed oil and black seed extract reduces the viability of human lung cancer cells.

5. Black Seed Oil Eliminates Malignant Brain Cancer Cells

In 2013, researchers from Ohio State University published that glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of malignant brain tumor in human beings. Scientific research has proved that thymoquinone has the ability to inhibit cancer cells from making clones of themselves. It also has the ability to inhibit cancer cells from reusing cellular materials from other cells through autophagy.

6. Used in Inhibiting Breast Cancer

A study in Malaysia in 2013 addressed the anti-cancer efficiency of thymoquinone. Thymoquinone has showed a sustained ability to inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation with long term treatment. Larger doses of thymoquinone were found to produce greater inhibition.

7. Used in Killing Leukemia Cells

In 2013, researchers in Malaysia found out that thymoquinone could be used for treatment of leukaemia cells as it encourages apoptosis which resulted to the death of leukemic cells.

8. Inhibiting and Destroying Colon Cells

In 2007, researchers from University of Mississippi Medical Center discovered that thymoquinone and catechin, found in green tea, destroyed cancer cells and interfered with the cellular metabolic functions.
The Lebanese researchers came up with the same conclusion in 2004, they found that thymoquinone which is extracted from black seed oil inhibits and destroys colon cancer cells.

9. Useful In Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Saudi Arabian researchers in 2010 did a study on Helicobacter pylori infection and concluded that black seed oil possesses clinically useful anti-Helicobacter pylori activity and is the best alternative in the treatment of helicobacter pylori infection.

10. Treatment Of Digestive Tract Conditions

Black seed oil is also known for treating digestive tract conditions such as colic, hemorrhoids, constipation, dysentery, diarrhea and gas.
Other benefits of the black seed oil include: 
• Used for respiratory conditions such as congestion, swine flu, flu, emphysema, bronchitis, cough, and allergies.
• Used by women for birth control, to increase milk flow and to start menstruation.
• Some people apply the black seed oil directly to their skin surface for headache, joint pain (rheumatism) and other skin conditions.
• It is also used in food as a spice or flavoring.
• In the treatment of asthma. Research has shown that taking a black seed extract by mouth it improves lung function, wheezing and coughing in people with asthma.
• Treatment of allergic rhinitis (Hay fever). Early research showed that taking products daily that had black seed oil, biotin (Immerfit by Phyt-Immun), beta-carotene and vitamin E improved allergy symptoms among people with hay fever.
How to Take
Black seed oil is safe when taken in small amounts. Organic black seed oil is recommended as it is pure and will result in less side effects.
Dosage
The dosage for black seed oil depends on several factors such as the user’s health, age and other several conditions. Before using black oil or any other black seeds extract,it is recommended that you consult your physician, pharmacist or a healthcare professional.
Side effects of Black Seed Oil
• Allergic rashes when applied to skin.
• It can stop or slow down uterine contractions.
• It might slow the speed at which blood clots and increase the risk of bleeding
• It can also lower blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
