Black cumin oil Kalonji, Sattva Ayurveda, 250ml

Black grain (or black cumin, Nigella Sativa) oil is used to improve nutrition in cosmetics and folk medicine.

Bitter, spicy, with a slightly cumin-like taste. Used to enrich the diet (about 1 teaspoon per day). Used in cosmetics for the care of sensitive, irritated, itchy, dry, cracked, scaly skin.

Black cumin is a legendary oriental plant used to treat a variety of ailments. The history of the healing properties of black grain oil is rooted over the centuries. Queen Nefertiti of Egypt knew about the amazing effects of this oil on the skin and used it to preserve its beauty and youth.

A well-known archaeologist, Lord Carter, spotted an unknown black oil at the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. It later emerged that it was "black cumin oil." This finding suggests that the ancient Egyptians knew about black grains and used them 3,000 years ago. The discovery of this oil among the buried property of the king undoubtedly indicates its importance at the time.

Nigella sativa has almost ten names. Kalonji (Kalonji) - is a Hindi language, habbat Al Baraka - literally "blessed seed" - Arabic and also flowering fennel (black caraway), blackcurrant (nutmeg flower), Italian coriander (roman coriander) ), black sesame. In America they are called chernushka. Apparently, this name was brought by Russian emigrants. And that’s not all. Obviously, many names cause confusion.

The Nigella plant itself has nothing in common botanically with sesame, fennel, cumin, or even onion. The most common name - black cumin nigela - is due to the similarity of the leaves (thin, carved, like fennel) and the shape and color of the seeds: they are small, black, pungent taste. Seeds are a very popular spice in the East, and in the Arab world they are also a medicine that is written in the Qur'an: "Black cumin is a cure for all diseases except death." And if in European folk medicine, black grain is given a relatively modest place - used for stomach ailments and as a means of bile, then in the East black cumin seed oil is used for almost all ailments.

Black cumin grows in the Mediterranean, northern Africa, Morocco, Asia and the Arabian Peninsula.
