Amazing Herbs Premium Black Seed Oil - Gluten Free, Non GMO, Cold Pressed Nigella Sativa Aids in Digestive Health, Immune Support, Brain Function, Joint Mobility - 1 Fl Oz

For the past 2 years I've been on a journey of natural homeopathic healing. I suffer from many health issues, and because I do not have health insurance, this has truly been my only option. And in general, I do not want to be on pharmaceuticals or unnatural treatments. I already oil pull twice a day with pure coconut oil. I use my magnesium oil, apple cider vinegar, dead sea salt, baking soda and honey, as a part of my everyday routines. All that said, while there has been a difference in my health ... definitely, enough to keep going with it ... I have had days of total fatigue and weakness, to where it was a struggle to lift my arms over my head, and my legs felt like melted butter when I'd walk. I am also going through the change of life, which has compounded the situation. Frustrated, but still hopeful, I went back to my research, to see if there was anything else I could try. I had known about Black Seed Oil, and that whole "it cures everything but death itself", for at least a year ... but honestly it sounded so hyped, that it put me off. However, it kept coming up in my research, so I decided to give a small bottle a try. I started out with a simple teaspoon. After dealing with the horrific tasting likes of apple cider vinegar, (which I can take a teaspoon straight if I have to), I found the black seed oil to be a BREEZE to taste and swallow. Both my daughters did not have any problem taking a spoonful of it (and believe me, they are WIMPS with that stuff). I did have my sister say it tasted like turpentine, but considering I almost poisoned myself as a kid when I drank from a bottle of turpentine, I think that is a gross exaggeration. Black seed oil is mostly bland, with a hint of spice in your throat, that goes away within seconds. Now that I've been taking it a few weeks, I actually look forward to the taste. Results: After the first spoonful, literally maybe 5 minutes later, I felt ... *something*. I can't even put into words, the effect, but it was pleasant. The closest that describes it is, a "sense of well being" ... a feeling of health. I honestly thought it was just in my head, I mean what could work that quickly, right? I have been taking it now for a few weeks and it is the most AMAZING remedy I have ever tried. *** I have much more energy, and yet my body is calm ... *** I can focus better and don't have that feeling of cobwebs in my head. *** My legs and arms are not so weak. *** It has MOST definitely positively affected my menopausal symptoms. My girls say I am easier to be around. I'm a pleasant person normally, but when one does not feel well, we get pretty grumpy. Black seed oil has at least partially given me back my old life and my old me. Everyday I take it, I feel better and better. WEIGHT LOSS: My 15 year old daughter is now also taking it for the past week. She reports that she too feels positive effects and it makes her want to be more active. She's taking it to lose about 15 lbs. There is a recipe for weight loss that includes 1 teaspoon Black Seed Oil, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of organic (ceylon) cinnamon in a 6 oz cup of hot water (like a tea). She only started the recipe a week ago and her jeans are already a little loose. It's tough to get a teenager to focus on their health, they are so involved in other things, but my daughter LOVES this oil so much, she never fails to take it everyday. I don't normally ever leave reviews this long, but I just can't say enough about it. Bottom line, this one is really not just hype. It WORKS, and for SO many things. The oil has 100 healing components which work together in a synergetic effect. If you are on the fence, I HIGHLY recommend trying it. While I cannot claim it works for everyone, I can absolutely say this is my TOP natural remedy and will forever be in use in our home. I came to Amazon to buy the largest size they had, the 32 ounce. While it's not the cheapest oil to purchase, it's SO worth it.

Do no like the taste but it is supposed to be very effective, as my doctor says.

Quick delivery. Good product. Now taking 3rd bottle of Amazing Herbs Premium Black Seed Oil. Good for health.

I purchased Amazing Herbs Black Seed Cold-Pressed Oil from Amazon after using my sister's Amazing Herbs Black Seed Cold-Pressed Oil for a while to see if I could tolerate it. After I used hers for a couple of weeks, I purchased my own. I have to say it tastes awful, at first I would stand at the counter and work up the courage to take it, but I eventually figured out how to take it without any problems with the taste. I simply toss my head back and put the teaspoon towards the back of my mouth/tongue and pour the oil out of the spoon and that's it. It does still have the peppery type burn in my throat but since it doesn't touch my tongue, there's no taste! Now for the GREAT part. My blood pressure had become borderline and my doctor had told me that it (140/92) was too high and I needed to check it every day and come back in a month. I didn't go back after a month, but I did check it. I am checking it every day and it has gone down to 111/74!! Sometimes it's even a little bit lower! That being said, I am a true believer! My cholesterol has also plummeted and I am losing weight. I am so glad I read all of the reviews and believed the 95% positive reviews. I will ALWAYS use this oil. It is truly a miracle! UPDATE: Today this product is $49.99. When I ordered it about 6 weeks ago (the end of June,) it was $35. Be careful people, this price increase seems weird. Making me think about purchasing another brand from another online merchant. I am sure there are other reputable sellers out there, one being Tropical Traditions. I'll keep watching the price on this though because I love this product. Just not crazy about a nearly 50% increase in price in a short time :-( UPDATE on October 22, 2014: Had to return my second bottle as it was not the quality of the first bottle I had. BIG difference in the smell, taste and color. The first bottle was very pungent, darker colored oil and very peppery. The second bottle was lighter colored, not nearly as strong and pungent as the first and I just felt as if it was cut with some other kind of oil. Not sure on that but I will say that it was definitely not the same SO I returned my second bottle for a refund. Quality control appears to be an issue, unfortunately :-(

I just received this in the mail, so I cannot comment on the actual effectiveness of the product. I compared this product to Black Seed Oil that we came back with from Yemen and they are slightly different. Amazing Herbs is on the left. As you can see, it is lighter in color than the one from Yemen. When I was blindfolded to smell both oils, the scent for this wasn't AS strong as the one from Yemen. And the taste of the Yemenese Black Seed Oil was extremely...like agonizingly pungent as opposed to the Amazing Herbs one, which, was much more moderate and tolerable (still very pungent though). Needless to say, the Amazing Herbs Black Seed oil seems great and is able to do a phenomenal job as it is, judging by these reviews. Black Seed Oil is known to come in varying strengths, depending on its native origin/where its grown so this review is NOT meant as a reflection on the company's ethical conduct. It is important to pay attention to the strength of the Thymoquinone content; the active ingredient in Black Seed Oil and one of the main reasons for Black seed oil's miraculous effectiveness. So the greater the Thymoquinone content, the more powerful the oil. This oil has 1.1% thymoquinone amount. The strongest Black Seed oils in the world have as much as 4.6% volatile oil and 2% thymoquinone content. I am suspecting the one we have from Yemen simply has higher Thymoquinone content than the Amazing Herbs brand. The great thing about Amazing Herbs, is the price relative to the amount. 16oz for 25 dollars is a relatively good deal *especially* with such qualitative certifications. As far as googling goes, The Blessed Seed brand seems like the only company offering stronger Black Seed Oils (~2% Thymoquinone amount). Though 18 dollars at 3.4 oz is definitely a pretty penny. I will be ordering from them soon too and will edit this comment to compare all three. My plan is to use the Amazing Herbs brand as just a general health maintenance supplement, and on those days I have more bothersome or immediate health issues, consuming the stronger one (which I'm anticipating to be The Blessed Seed brand). Though the Amazing Herbs brand could probably work just fine for whatever health/medical intentions you have, as most of the reviewers here are implying. Hope this review helps. Edit November 2 2016: Blessed Seed brand was about the same in potency. I'm still on the search for more potent brands. But this shall get the job done in the mean time.

This humble, but immensely powerful seed, kills MRSA, heals the chemical weapon poisoned body, stimulates regeneration of the dying beta cells within the diabetic's pancreas, and yet too few even know it exists. The seeds of the annual flowering plant, Nigella Sativa, have been prized for their healing properties since time immemorial. While frequently referred to among English-speaking cultures as Roman coriander, black sesame, black cumin, black caraway and onion seed, it is known today primarily as black seed, which is at the very least an accurate description of its physical appearance. The earliest record of its cultivation and use come from ancient Egypt. Black seed oil, in fact, was found in Egyptian pharoah Tutankhamun's tomb, dating back to approximately 3,300 years ago.[i] In Arabic cultures, black cumin is known as Habbatul barakah, meaning the "seed of blessing." It is also believed that the Islamic prophet Mohammed said of it that it is "a remedy for all diseases except death." Many of black cumin's traditionally ascribed health benefits have been thoroughly confirmed in the biomedical literature. In fact, since 1964, there have been 458 published, peer-reviewed studies referencing it. We have indexed salient research, available to view on GreenMedInfo.com on our Black Seed (Nigella Sativa) page, on well over 40 health conditions that may be benefited from the use of the herb, including over 20 distinct pharmacological actions it expresses, such as: Analgesic (Pain-Killing) Anti-Bacterial Anti-Inflammatory Anti-Ulcer Anti-Cholinergic Anti-Fungal Ant-Hypertensive Antioxidant Antispasmodic Antiviral Bronchodilator Gluconeogenesis Inhibitor (Anti-Diabetic) Hepatoprotective (Liver Protecting) Hypotensive Insulin Sensitizing Interferon Inducer Leukotriene Antagonist Renoprotective (Kidney Protecting) Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Inhibitor These 22 pharmacological actions are only a subset of a far wider number of beneficial properties intrinsic to the black seed. While it is remarkable that this seed has the ability to positively modulate so many different biological pathways, this is actually a rather common occurrence among traditional plant medicines. Our project has identified over 1600 natural compounds with a wide range of health benefits, and we are only in our first 5 years of casual indexing. There are tens of thousands of other substances that have already been researched, with hundreds of thousands of studies supporting their medicinal value (MEDLINE, whence our study abstracts come, has over 600,000 studies classified as related to Complementary and Alternative Medicine). Take turmeric, for example. We have identified research indicating its value in over 600 health conditions, while also expressing over 160 different potentially beneficial pharmacological actions. You can view the quick summary of over 1500 studies we have summarized on our Turmeric Research page, which includes an explorative video on turmeric. Professional database members are further empowered to manipulate the results according to their search criteria, i.e. pull up and print to PDF the 61 studies on turmeric and breast cancer. This, of course, should help folks realize how voluminous the supportive literature indicating the medicinal value of natural substances, such as turmeric and black seed, really is. Black seed has been researched for very specific health conditions. Some of the most compelling applications include: Type 2 Diabetes: Two grams of black seed a day resulted in reduced fasting glucose, decreased insulin resistance, increased beta-cell function, and reduced glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in human subjects.[ii] Helicobacter Pylori Infection: Black seeds possess clinically useful anti-H. pylori activity, comparable to triple eradication therapy.[iii] Epilepsy: Black seeds were traditionally known to have anticonvulsive properties. A 2007 study with epileptic children, whose condition was refractory to conventional drug treatment, found that a water extract significantly reduced seizure activity.[iv] High Blood pressure: The daily use of 100 and 200 mg of black seed extract, twice daily, for 2 months, was found to have a blood pressure-lowering effect in patients with mild hypertension.[v] Asthma: Thymoquinone, one of the main active constituents within Nigella sativa (black cumin), is superior to the drug fluticasone in an animal model of asthma.[vi] Another study, this time in human subjects, found that boiled water extracts of black seed have relatively potent antiasthmatic effect on asthmatic airways.[vii] Acute tonsillopharyngitis: characterized by tonsil or pharyngeal inflammation (i.e. sore throat), mostly viral in origin, black seed capsules (in combination with Phyllanthus niruri) have been found to significantly alleviate throat pain, and reduce the need for pain-killers, in human subjects.[viii] Chemical Weapons Injury: A randomized, placebo-controlled human study of chemical weapons injured patients found that boiled water extracts of black seed reduced respiratory symptoms, chest wheezing, and pulmonary function test values, as well as reduced the need for drug treatment.[ix] Colon Cancer: Cell studies have found that black seed extract compares favorably to the chemoagent 5-fluoruracil in the suppression of colon cancer growth, but with a far higher safety profile.[x] Animal research has found that black seed oil has significant inhibitory effects against colon cancer in rats, without observable side effects.[xi] MRSA: Black seed has anti-bacterial activity against clinical isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.[xii] Opiate Addiction/Withdrawal: A study on 35 opiate addicts found black seed as an effective therapy in long-term treatment of opioid dependence.[xiii]

Love the benefits of black cumin seed oil. My kids and I take this with Honey when we are feeling sick. Works well. The tastes is peppery so we take it with honey. My very picky 8 year old has been taking this willingly since she was 2. She even asks for it sometimes. Also a good source of omegas. Antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial oil

I'm really impressed by this oil. I've been using muscle testing to figure out what the right dosage for my body. I'm taking 2 teaspoons morning, afternoon, and evening. Hormonal birth control was causing my high blood sugar but the doctors won't listen to me and they continue to diagnose me as diabetic. They say I'm in denial when I refuse to take their synthetic medications. I know my own body and I don't react well to any sort of medications. I listened to my own intuition and took myself off the pill. Synchronistically I was guided to look up black seed cumin oil and felt a strong need to purchase it. It was interesting my A1C spiked up so high while on birth control. When I was pregnant I was not diabetic. My blood sugar was high before I was pregnant but I was on birth control. I didn't make the correlation until I saw my blood sugar during pregnancy and then after pregnancy and on birth control. After pregnancy, I went on the pill and waited about two months before I went to get a physical and checked my A1C. It was 6.5. A little elevated. Three months later it spiked to a 10! They said my kidneys were failing also. My husband was not too keen on me taking the pill due to side effects. Interestingly enough I read the insert and it said it can cause high blood sugar liver and kidney failure. Yowza! Anyhow the medical personnel were insistent I take their medication but I had refused. Instead I went off the birth control. I went to my acupuncturist for a treatment but she live out of town to get regular treatments. She recommended that I needed to watch what I eat. Which I did but my blood sugar from certain things I eat. I want to be able to eat whatever I want and not worry about my sugar spiking. I already eat healthy for the most part but I had to eat extra healthy. It made no sense why my blood sugar spiked up so high like that. While on the pill I was constantly hungry and was eating everything in sight. It was not normal. My weight was elevating higher than when I was pregnant. I only gained about 19 to 20 lbs. I was losing weight until I got on birth control and it jumped up to 30 lbs higher! I started taking black seed oil for about three weeks. I went to get my lipid panel a month later it was almost normalize. I went for my three months A1C again and it dropped to 7.3. They were amazed and asked what I was doing. I've tried to tell them but they wouldn't listen to me. The oil is amazing. I have more energy to do activities and work out. My strength came back also. Doctors and nurses are supposed to work with you but they only know their allopathic way. I go to them so I can gauge my base line with the tests. Take control of your own health.
