Black cumin seed (Nigella sativa) is an herb native to the Middle Eastern and South-Asian regions of the world, and has long been used in traditional healing systems for a variety of treatments. Ayurvedic medicine as well as Unani practices demonstrate the uses of black cumin seed against diseases and conditions related to inflammation, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia. When following a supplemental dose of N. sativa daily, patient trials have resulted in lowered levels of total cholesterol and LDL-C, as well as higher levels of HDL-C, providing measurable verification of the herb's therapeutic qualities. Today, many practitioners are finding black cumin to be a potent herb in adjunctive cancer treatment. Recent studies and clinical experimentation have demonstrated the positive effects of black cumin in the prevention of cancer via free-radical scavenging and promotion of apoptosis. These seeds contain a number of substances attributed to their healing potential, including thymoquinone, saponins, alkaloids, and high levels of beneficial fatty acids including linoleic acid and oleic acid.
