At the time of the epidemic … a healthy treasure to strengthen natural immunity

Relying on the natural and beneficial ingredients available in black seed or black seed oil can help boost immunity and improve performance, according to Only My Health.

The immune system protects the human body against viruses, microbes and other external aggressions, thanks to a complex network of cells and proteins which combine powerful offensive capacities and powerful defense mechanisms.

The immune system needs to function and be strengthened normally in order for the human body to remain healthy despite the poor environmental conditions of the current era. Black seed oil (also known as Nigella sativa oil) is one of the best botanical ingredients for naturally boosting immunity. Nigella sativa oil offers a range of nutritional benefits in addition to its many uses for skin and hair maintenance, as it contains many fatty acids, such as oleic, linoleic, palmitic and myristic, which are characterized by their high levels of nigellone, thymoquinone, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other active molecules.

Immunity booster

Nutritionist Tanaya Sarma says black seed oil helps boost immunity for the following reasons:

• It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

• Rich in thymoquinone (TQ) and thymohydroquinone (THQ) and essential fatty acids and helps fight free radicals.

• It has tremendous immune modulating properties as it enhances the production of natural killer cells of NK viruses and microbes.

health benefits

Some of the other benefits of black seed oil include:

• Helps relieve stomach problems as it treats indigestion and gas. It helps treat constipation and is known to be effective in preventing the early stages of colon cancer.

• It can help lower high blood pressure because its fatty acids lower the amount of harmful cholesterol in the blood and therefore can also help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

• It contributes to weight loss and prevention of obesity because it stimulates the metabolic system and does not allow fat to settle in the body.

• Prevents cancer because the antioxidants in black seed oil can help prevent cancerous tumors from forming as the antioxidants fight free radicals in the system and these free radicals help cancer cells to grow.

• It can prevent bacterial infections because it contains antibacterial properties which can help the body fight off any bacterial infection.

• It can prevent diabetes because black seed oil improves the function of the pancreas and replaces the beta cells in the body. Both of these factors go a long way in preventing type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

• Helps reduce arthritis because it contains many polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, and its topical application to the extremities relieves pain.
