Black cumin seed oil is perhaps best known for its ability to stop and prevent certain types of cancer. One of the important ingredients in black seed oil is thymoquinone. Multiple studies show that this compound fights cancer in many ways. It stops the growth of tumors, protects the body from the effects of radiation and chemo, and even causes cancer cell death to certain types of cancer. Your immune system relies on health bone marrow cells and black cumin oil can increase the growth of these cells by an almost unbelievable 250 percent!

In studies done with mice, two thirds of the mice that were given black cumin seed oil lived for more than 30 days even though scientists deliberately tried to induce cancer in them. Not a single mouse in the control group even lived to the 30 day mark. This oil is especially effective for very aggressive cancers that depend on the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis).

Although most experts say that just one teaspoon of the oil taken twice daily in a hot drink, such as tea, is sufficient, most people take this supplement in capsule form. No matter how you choose to take this oil, it will give you healthy support for your body, and beautiful, lustrous hair and nails.

You can buy black cumin seed oil in pre-made lotions or creams or you can simply add a few teaspoons to your favorite lotion.
