Nigella Sativa was discovered in th Giza
pyramid in Tutankhamen’s tomb (1567-1320 B.C), 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. The plants found can be seen on display in the Cairo Museum in Egypt.
The earliest written reference to black
seed is found in the book of Isiah in the Old Testament. Isiah
contrasts the reaping of black cumin with wheat: For the black cumin
is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled
over the cumin, but the black cumin is beaten out with a stick, and
the cumin with a rod. (Isiah 28:25,27 NKJV). Easton’s Bible
Dictionary clarifies that the Hebrew word for black cumin, “ketsah,”
refers to “without doubt the Nigella Sativa, a small annual of the
order Ranunculaceae which grows wild in the Mediterranean countries,
and is cultivated in Egypt and Syria for its seed.”
Dioscoredes, a Greek physician of the 1st
century, recorded that black seeds were taken to treat headaches,
nasal congestion, toothache, and intestinal worms. They were also
used, he reported, as a diuretic to promote menstruation and
increase milk production.
The Muslim scholar al-Biruni (973-1048),
who composed a treatise on the early origins of Indian and Chinese
drugs, mentions that the black seed is a kind of grain called
alwanak in the Sigzi dialect. Later, this was confirmed by Suhar
Bakh who explained it to be habb-I-Sajzi (viz.Sigzi grains). This
reference to black seed as “grains” points to the seed’s possible
nutritional use during the tenth and eleventh centuries.
In the Greco-Arab/Urani-Tibb system of
medicine, which originated from Hippocrates, his contemporary Galen
and Ibn Sina, black seed has been regarded as a valuable remedy in
hepatic and digestive disorders and has been described as a
stimulant in a variety of conditions, ascribed to an imbalance of
cold humors.
Ibn Sina (980-1037), famous for his
volumes called “The Canon of Medicine,” regarded by many as the most
famous book in the history of medicine, East or West, refers to
black seed as the seed “that stimulates the body’s energy and helps
recovery from fatigue and disspiritedness.”
Black seed is also included in the list of
natural drugs of Al-Tibb al-Nabawi. There is a traditional saying
“Hold onto the use of the black seed for it has a remedy for every
illness except death.” This prophetic reference in describing black
seed as “having a remedy for all illnesses” may not be so
exaggerated as it at first appears. Recent research has provided
evidence that indicates that black seed contains the ability to
significantly boost the the human immune system –if taken over time.
The prophetic phrase “hold onto the use of the seed, also emphasizes
consistent usage of the seed.
Black seed has been traditionally and
successfully used in the Middle and Far East countries to treat
ailments including bronchial asthma and bronchitis, rheumatism and
related inflammatory diseases, to increase milk production in
nursing mothers, to treat digestive disturbances, to support the
body’s immune system, to promote digestion and elimination, and to
fight parasitic infestation. Its oil has been used to treat skin
conditions such as eczema and boils and is used topically to treat
cold symptoms.
The many uses of black seed have earned
for this medicinal herb the Arabic approbation habbatul barakah,
meaning “the seed of blessing”.
Research studies confirm that black seed is the only natural herb
that contains over 100 valuable biological nutrients, some of which
have yet to be identified. It is a significant source of essential
fatty acids, which are the building blocks of cells. Besides
building cells and repairing tissue, form antibody to combat
invading bacteria and viruses; they are part of the enzyme and
hormonal system: they build nucleoproteins, (RNA/ DNA): they carry
oxygen throughout the body and participate in muscle activity.
Also
rich in vitamins and minerals, natural vitamins are organic food
substances found only in living things, that is, plants and animals.
With few exceptions the body cannot manufacture or synthesize
vitamins. They must be supplied in the diet or in dietary
supplements. Vitamins and minerals are essential to the normal
functioning of our bodies. They are necessary for our growth,
vitality, and general well being.
Although some of the nutrients found in Black Seed are in small
quantities, they are significant.
