What Is Black Seed Oil?
Black seed oil is sometimes called black cumin oil. It is derived from nigella sativa seeds, which are normally cold-pressed to produce the oil. Black seed oil can be applied externally or it can be consumed. Both methods are said to offer significant health benefits. The use of black seed oil is believed to date back centuries. Nigella sativa is a flowering plant. Its seeds are often called black cumin seeds. Nigella sativa seeds, which grow in pods, are edible. About 30 percent of the composition of the seeds is oil. These seeds are commonly pressed so that that oil can be obtained. Black seed oil is literally black, but it is not generally too heavy.
