This plant grows about twelve inches tall, has thread like leaves with delicate, pale, blue and white flowers. The large fruit of this plant contains follicles, each containing numerous seeds. The seeds are pressed to make black seed oil.
The Nigella Sativa has been used since ancient times in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, as an herb or pressed into oil.
Black seeds have been used medicinally for a variety of conditions including: respiratory, intestinal, kidney, liver, circulatory, and immune system health. They have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-viral, anti-cancer, and antioxidants benefits. They've been used for general well being, often used as flavoring on foods.
