The Blessed Seeds Oil
There are many websites talking about the Nigella Sativa seed and the amazing qualities of the blessed seed's oil. Most of the information are just personal experiences and opinions of the people who took the oil. Therefore, in many cases the information is incomplete or false. Islamic websites are trying to amplify the benefits of the black seed oil and a lot of information of those sources have no official evidence.
In the same time we are not trying to minimize the benefits of the black seed oil but we want to encourage you to get information from the official sources and actual scientific professors who are investigating the black seed oil benefits since 1960 and saying that they are still in process up to now. A lot of research was done specially in the Middle East research centers but they all incomplete and this is why black seed oil never gets any medical drug licenses and is never approved by any scientific research organization.
All what we have are opinions of people's experiences and understanding the importance of the Nigella Sativa seeds because it is mentioned in various religious scriptures.
