The Benefits and uses of Black Seed OIl

Ancient history documents the use of this natural remedy as far back as the Egyptians. They knew and used the black seed and described it as a cure for problems and diseases. When the famous boy king (Tutankamun) tomb was unearthed, they discovered a bottle of the oil in his tomb. The ancient Romans also knew this seed and called it Greek Coriander. It is recorded that that the black seed were taken to treat headaches, nasal congestion, toothache and intestinal worms.
The history of this natural medicine is extensive yet there is no record or recommendations of it by modern science. Big pharama does not see any profits in natural remedies, so all studies on this are omitted from the public. If you want to learn more about natural remedies, I suggest you find the oldest member of your family (preferably 65+) and ask them about some of the herbs they used for remedies. The answer you get may just surprise you.
