Black Cumin: The "Seed of Immortality" | WholisticMatters Podcast | Medicinal Herbs

In this episode of the Medicinal Herbs podcast, naturopathic clinician Angela Hywood talks with host Sara Le Brun-Blashka, MS, about the “holy herb of the Middle East” - also known as the “seed of immortality.” Black cumin seed (Nigella sativa), or just black cumin, originates from the Mediterranean region and is known for its content of terpenoids, particularly thymoquinone, and fatty acids which give rise to a plethora of health properties (01:20).

I started grinding up the seeds and taking 1 teaspoon daily for improved cholesterol and blood pressure. But I found that my mood and energy levels significantly improved as well.

[@WholisticMatters]

So amazing!

[@kevinw2569]

I'm gonna try that

[@Penguinandpear]

I’ve been using BSO for a while now and it’s changed my life. I have ME and it’s given me much more energy when I have to go out. I was having a lot of falls and I haven’t had a single one since taking it. I’m much more confident on my feet. I have coccyx damage from a fall from a year ago and it’s really helped with that and arthritis. My breathing issues have gone and my blood sugar has regulated too!! I love it!! I have suspected mcas and it’s massively reduced inflammation especially in my face. Edit: I have just had 2 weeks off it to cycle. I became a lot more unwell with more days in bed. My inflammation considerably increased and lost my momentum.

[@leaperrins8373]

I have ME too and have just started to take it. I wonder if a 5 day on and 2 day off schedule would be better for you?

[@MGAnnAd]

Thanks for sharing. What dosage BSO are you taking daily? how many times daily?

[@barryminor616]

Keep sharing what really works BEST for you and our HEALthier TEAM

[@KpodoOzor]

Wonderful ❤

[@serfranklin6022]

I have often read that it seems to have anti seizure properties, surprised it wasn't touched upon

[@christinearthur1159]

I would like to know how much is beneficial ?

[@karolodom]

I mix the black seed oil with an ounce or so of juice twice a day!

[@samjj8942]

What herbs should you not take with Black Seed oil , I read Garlic can be a problem, also ginger ????

[@jenniferjohnson7584]

Does it help with interstitial cystitis?

[@tulonga.takali3193]

Very interesting. look forward to communicate with you.

[@scottjackson163]

I like to take 1 teaspoon of BSO with raw honey, twice a day. But I’m losing weight steadily without trying. I’m still at a healthy weight (23.4 on the BMI scale). I think I need to throttle back to one teaspoon of BSO per day.

[@niranjanpaul2176]

Can grind seeds and have a tsp with warm water. ..cheaper and safer .. can grind in small amounts as you use

[@ariella4444]

Does it help improve kidney function??

[@janna7312]

I read it definitely does 🙏

[@Victoria.1902]

Can it cure congested heart failure

[@staceycohen5486]

Exited to try THIS ASAP, can I buy directly from standard process? I am under the impression they only sell through practioners ? What type of practice do you have, and where are you located? I am not working wuth anyone at this time?

[@AmberLee-ev7nr]

Can it be taken long term.

[@WholisticMatters]

Hi Amber, our herbal expert says that clinical trials using black cumin seed have demonstrated safety at 3 grams per day when taken for up to 3-6 months. Though it generally has a very wide margin of safety, for use beyond 6 months it is always best to be monitored by a qualified healthcare practitioner. Please reach out to [e-mail] for more information.

[@AmberLee-ev7nr]

@@WholisticMatters Thank you.

[@niranjanpaul2176]

In seed form or ground is more safer for long periods of use

[@JARDINIERSONORE]

great, only benefits, do you know botanical music? To listen !!

[@madmecyr]

Are there better ways of taking? Tincture, oil capsule, whole seed?

[@WholisticMatters]

Hi there, traditionally Nigella has been used extensively as a culinary spice in various cuisines, however most studies using Nigella have used between 1-3 g of powdered seed or extract per day. You can send an email to [e-mail] if you have additional questions!

[@themotivator2587]

There was a study showing that cholesterol-lowering effects were only seen with ground seeds but not oil. So it may depend on what benefits you are seeking.

[@jondoe170]

Bought some in pill form. Should I store it in my fridge? What's the shelf life of this oil?

[@niranjanpaul2176]

Ground seeds more safer and cheaper. .. grind as you use..less oxidised,

[@KatrinaDancer]

You said it's an appetite stimulant?!!!

[@patriciabroche1144]

Prophet Mohammad said - " Black seed is a cure for every disease except death"

[@kennyd1836]

There's one thing I've noticed about European content videos, when herbs has its origin from Africa you will keep the name of Africa out of y'all mouths. That very hate will cost many their souls and they don't even know it😔

[@cfoster6804]

I noticed that too! She went straight to the Mediterranean. Pitiful and sad.

[@JAM-zb2vh]

That is so true from a young age I did not understand why my step dad mother and step dad mom was so hatful about Black people and not just them. I talk to everyone black Mexican you name it. my wife is black and I have six mixed kids well they not kid now but to me they will be kids.

[@Firkant2]

The mediteranian region does encompass a good chunk of: the levant, north africa and southern europe. Your observations may still be valid.

[@tomiwa1a]

I understand what you mean Kenny but let us lower the wing of kindness in the words of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and not assume malice. They may genuinely not know. I am African and I love Africa and did not know there is an African name. This can be an opportunity to educate. What is the African origin?

[@bazmohammedlakbir9780]

There is no such thing as you call it "the Seed of Immortality" !!

[@MrTech33]

It's a western (in decadence) thing, so bear with it.

[@andydaniels3029]

It's an unfortunate misappropriation of the writings of the doctors and scholars (mostly Muslim) of the time. The better way to have titled it would be "the seed of rejuvenation." I believe even the prophet Muhammad himself is quoted as saying something to the effect of: "Take use of the black seed, for it cures everything but death."

[@bazmohammedlakbir9780]

​@@andydaniels3029 You are absolutely right & your justification by stating Prophet Muhammad's holy Hadith shows that you are well-informed ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@dedetudor.]

@@andydaniels3029 yes... That is the exact quote... Everything but death🤓

[@juno6]

@@MrTech33 if Western is decadent, how would you call the state of the middle East? On top of that, if there's decadence, it's very coincident with the increasing Muslim presence.

Nigela sativa is Not Black Cumin Seeds it come from a flower learn more before talking.

[@genevieve730]

Nigella sativa and black cumin seeds are one and the same. Why don’t you learn some grammar and spelling before you make ugly comments ?

[@virgo1860]

Black cumin, Nigella sativa, black seed are all the same thing just depend on where you live in the world as far as the name you choose to call it but those three names are referencing the same herb.

[@virgo1860]

@Julie Elliott you are correct
