Summary
Today, we’re going to talk about the many uses and benefits of black seed oil. Black seed oil is beneficial for the following:
•Asthma
•Allergies
•Digestion
•Cancer
•Skin inflammation
•Diabetes
•Insulin resistance
Black seed oil supports the beta cells found in the pancreas that regulate insulin, which helps support a healthy weight. Black seed oil also supports healthy immune function, specifically protecting against autoimmune diseases.
T-regulatory cells work to dampen an overactive immune system, which helps prevent and decrease autoimmune responses. Black seed oil supports this function of the immune system.
Black seed oil helps regulate inflammation and helps increase interferon—an immune compound that interferes with the function of infections and viruses. It’s also rich in a compound known as thymoquinone.
Many different cultures have used black seed oil for several thousand years. It was even found in King Tut’s tomb!
Some people take black seed oil to support brain health because it can increase acetylcholine—a neurotransmitter that can help improve memory, the ability to learn, focus, and concentration. It’s also helpful for inflammatory conditions of the skin, like dermatitis.
Black seed oil can be taken orally or used topically. Try taking between one and three teaspoons of black seed oil per day, starting with half of a teaspoon and working your way up.
If you want to use black seed oil topically, try using it with DMSO. DMSO has unique properties and the ability to penetrate deep into the tissues. A 50/50 mixture of black seed oil and DMSO applied topically to an inflamed joint can provide even greater relief than using black seed oil alone.

| 0:00.0 | I'd like to talk a little bit about Black Seed Whale, right? |
| 0:03.0 | This is a quite amazing compound. |
| 0:05.1 | It's a very small molecule, but it has huge therapeutic potential, |
| 0:09.6 | because it's been effective on so many different types of problems from asthma to allergies to |
| 0:15.0 | digestion cancer skin inflammation and that I mentioned diabetes because it |
| 0:19.6 | has this really interesting effect on the A1C and helping someone with insulin resistance. |
| 0:24.7 | It supports the cell and the pancreas called the beta cell that regulates insulin. |
| 0:30.6 | So anything that would improve that would also correlate to |
| 0:33.1 | improving weight problems. There's been a lot of research in the area of the |
| 0:38.4 | immune system, specifically autoimmune diseases and I'm going to put some of |
| 0:42.4 | the research down below. |
| 0:44.0 | But if we take a look at all the conditions I just mentioned, |
| 0:47.0 | a lot of them boil down to inflammation. |
| 0:51.0 | And that's exactly what Black Seed can do. |
| 0:53.4 | One way it does it is it helps to regulate inflammation. |
| 0:57.8 | So when someone has this inflamed situation, |
| 1:01.4 | there's always this immune factor, it's kind of IL-6, that's higher. |
| 1:06.0 | Well, there's something in black seed oil that tends to lower that. |
| 1:09.0 | It also helps increase something called interfere on, which is basically an immune compound that interferes with infection and viruses. |
| 1:18.0 | Dust the word interfere on, right? It interferes with this virus that's attacking this cell. |
| 1:24.0 | Also, there's another part of the immune system called the T regulatory cells. |
| 1:28.0 | And those cells help to dampen an overactive immune system as in an autoimmune situation where you have this |
