Black cumin seed oil has been used
for health and wellness for thousands of years. In it, you’ll find vitamins,
minerals, essential fatty acids and even compounds that improves cell growth.
It’s been called a veritable fountain of youth.
Black cumin seeds come from a
plant called Nigella sativa. The plant is sometimes called black caraway
or fennel flower too, and it’s a totally different plant from the cumin that
you normally cook with. That kind of cumin comes from Cuminum cyminum
and is related to parsley.
Archaeological evidence about the
earliest cultivation of N. sativa “is still scanty”, but N. sativa
seeds were found in several sites from ancient Egypt, including Tutankhamun’s
tomb. Seeds were found in a Hittite flask in Turkey from the second millennium
BCE.
Nigella sativa black-caraway, also known as nigella (or kalonji), often called
black cumin, is an annual flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native
to south and southwest Asia.
Nigella sativa grows to 20-30 cm (7.9-11.8 in) tall, with finely divided, linear (but not thread-like) leaves. The flower is delicate, and usually colored pale blue and white, with five to ten petals. The black caraway fruit is a large and inflated capsule composed of three to seven united follicles, each containing numerous seeds which are used as spice, sometimes as a replacement for black cumin.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Safety summary
·
Hazards:
drug interaction; fetotoxic, based on thymoquinone content; skin sensitization.
·
Contraindications: (all routes)
pregnancy, breastfeeding
·
Cautions
(oral): diabetes medication.
·
Caution
(dermal): hypersensitive, diseased or damaged skin, children under 2 years
of age.
Organ-specific effects
·
Adverse skin reactions:
of 240 consecutive dermatitis patients in Saudi Arabia, two presents with
dermatitis caused by the topical application of black seed oil. One had
pigmented dermatitis on the face, while the other had generalized reactions.
Repeated applications of an ointment containing black seed oil caused ACD in
31-year-old women with pre-existing eczema. Another case of ACD was reported in
a 28-year-old man; patch testing confirmed black seed oil as the causative
agent. Two similar severe cases of systemic adverse reaction to black seed oil
were diagnosed as generalized erythema multiforme and bullous eruption. In the
first case, capsules containing 500mg of black seeds oil were taken, and patch
testing was positive for the same oil. The second case involved both oral
ingestion and dermal application. It was later established that in the Nosbaum
et at case, black seed fixed oil was used, not the essential oil, and the same
may well be true of some of the other reports. However, the fixed oil naturally
contains up to 0.5% essential oil, and therefore essential oil constituents
such.
·
Immunotoxicity:
when rats were injected in with 2.5 mL of black seed oil twice weekly for 4
weeks, there was a decrease in splenocytes and neutrophils, but an increase in
peripheral lymphocytes and monocytes.
·
Hepatotoxicity:
injected black seed essential oil afforded protection against induced
hepatotoxicity in rats.
Systemic effects
·
Acute toxicity:
no information found. The acute oral LD50 of thymoquinone in mice was 2.4 g/kg.
cymene acute oral LD50 in rats 4.75 g/kg.
·
Subacute
and Sub chronic toxicity: When black seed oil was fed to
rats at 0.3% of the diet for 8 weeks, there were no significant deviations in
organ to body weight ratios compared to controls for heart, liver, pancreas,
lungs, spleen, left kidney and right kidney. Indices of red and white blood
cells remained within normal limits, as did cardiac enzymes, liver function
tests, urea, creatinine, albumin, globulins, A/G ratio and total proteins. As
part of an experimental protocol to assess chemo preventive activity, male rats
were dosed with 200 mg/kg/day of black seed oil for 14 weeks. Gross and
microscopic examination of the liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs, stomach,
intestine, testes and accessory organs, and thyroid gland, revealed no
histopathological changes.
