Description
Nigella Black Cumin Oil
The oil from the seeds of Nigella sativa is rich in linoleic acid (LA). Linoleic acid is a double unsaturated essential fatty acid (EFA) used in the bio-synthesis of prostaglandins and cell membranes. Black cumin seed oil also contains Thymoquinone, Thymohydroquinone, Thymol (also found in Thyme essential oil) and Nigellone (see more details below).
Thymoquinone, is a powerful anti-bacterial / anti-fungal with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory. Researches also found this component of Nigella sativa seed oil can help with encephalomyelitis, diabetes, asthma and allergy, and can also be useful against a large number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Thymohydroquinone is a potent inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase resulting in a longer time for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to stay active in the brain. This could be helpful with neurodegenerative conditions. Thymol is a natural monoterpene that has antiviral activity ranging from tuberculosis to hepatitis, while Nigellone is a powerful antihistaminic with positive effects on asthma and allergies.
