Health Benefits 

Black seed also known as ‘Habbatul barakah” which translates to the seed of blessing, has a large significance among muslims and is known in Islamic medicine as “a cure for every disease, except death” (The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

With this knowledge and more recent research published in the American Journal of Public Health Research, which demonstrated the potential benefits of combining Black Seed, Chamomile and Honey in the treatment of COVID-19 – the antiviral blend was inspired and created. Based on the research by Ulasli and colleagues found the combination of Black Seed, Chamomile and Citrus peels to inhibit corona virus replication, enhance immunity, and exert tissue protective effects.

The active constituents – thymoquinone and nigellone – are released into the tea due to the process of hand grinding the seeds. Nigellone – bronchodilating, anti-histaminic, and antispasmodic actions – useful in treating asthma and allergies. Thymoquinone – anti-inflammatory, analgesic effects, powerful anxtioxidant and a stimulant of bile production which promotes detoxification. The fatty oil which makes up a large portion of the seed aids in the regulation of general metabolism and hormonal production, as well as maintaining healthy cell membrane and development of the functional nervous system.

The saponin and bitter components of the seed stimulate appetite, bloating, and have mild intestinal cleansing effects. In addition, they stimulate the function of the liver, gall bladder and kidneys for the removal of waste which helps re-establish the body’s pH balance. Saponins also help break up and remove mucous from the bronchial passages. Numerous studies also demonstrate its benefits in lowering blood cholesterol levels. Other potential benefits:

– Prevention of cancer

– Reducing blood pressure

– Preventing blood clot formation

– Treatment of diabetes

– Inhibiting the growth of bacteria and yeast
