Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, June 22, 2022 11:00 AM Black seed oil is the perfect example of a medicinal whole food. It's the cold pressed oil of the black cumin seed nigella sativa, which grows widely across Southern Europe, Western Asia and South Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East. In the majority of those regions, black seed oil has extensive traditional use as a medicine or "cure-all." In ancient Egypt, the black cumin seed was a primary first-line medicine against an entire host of maladies. When archaeologists unearthed King Tut's tomb, they found traces of black seed and black seed oil—ostensibly placed there to protect him as he made his way to the underworld. The Prophet Muhammad was reported to have said that "the black seed can heal every disease, except death." For thousands of years, Indian Ayurvedic medicine prescribed black seed oil to treat hypertension, high blood sugar, eczema, asthma, and general diseases of inflammation. I'm not saying these are fully accurate statements or beliefs, but they do show the reverence these cultures had for black seed oil and indicate its prowess as a medicine. Luckily, we don't have to rely on ancient texts as the only evidence we have. There are hundreds of studies showing the efficacy of black seed oil in humans against a wide range of health conditions. Taken as a whole, it's an impressive body of literature. This is the Primal way: taking heed of traditional wisdom and confirming its accuracy with modern science. Around here, we generally prefer medicinal whole foods—herbs, seeds, spices, and the like—to isolated or synthetic pharmacological compounds for several reasons: The synergistic compounds that exist in the whole food medicine are more likely to enhance the effects and be missing from the synthetic version. The synthetic compound will be geared toward a specific task, a one-trick pony, while the whole food medicine will be more likely to encompass other effects both up and down the line of causality. Whole food medicines are also foods—they contain vitamins and minerals and macronutrients that nourish us. They aren't just medicine; they're much more. If nothing else, this is a more efficient way to obtain medicinal effects. Health Benefits of Black Seed Oil Let's explore the health effects of black seed oil. To begin with, let's dispel some notions and prejudices we have about "seed oils." Industrial seed oils, like corn or canola oil, are stripped of nutrients that prevent lipid degradation, undergo high-heat and chemical processing, and have no redeeming qualities to make up for the high level of omega-6 linoleic acid present in the fat. In the Primal eating plan, we eliminate these industrial seed oils. Black seed oil is a different kind of seed oil. It's unrefined, so that it contains all the protective components that help the fragile fatty acids resist oxidation and prevent rancidity. It's a medical oil, not a food, so we're not using it to make salad dressings, fry potatoes, or incorporate in processed junk food. We aren't eating enough of it to worry about it as a … Continue reading "Black Seed Oil Benefits: The Healthy Seed Oil" The post Black Seed Oil Benefits: The Healthy Seed Oil appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
