Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 This oil sparked my interest because some of my personal favorite oils have always been the spicier ones. (nutmeg, black pepper, cinnamon leaf, coriander, etc.) So I tried doing some research on this one tonight, but came up with mostly information on the seed, with some references to the use of the carrier oil. This just intrigued my interest more, this seed does some amazing things. I am wondering if anyone can direct me to more information specifically about the Essential Oil (and Carrier) - regarding therapeutic properties, safety concerns, methods of use, aroma, etc? I did manage to find some research studies on the oils, but most of the information is a little too scientific for me - :| I did find one interesting study concerning nigella sativa essential oil and Human Neutrophil Elastase Activity (I am still not completely sure what this is either, though I gather it has to do with emphysema and/or Lung Cancer from what I did read?): http://yakushi.pharm.or.jp/FULL_TEXT/126_4/pdf/301.pdf - if anyone else is interested. Anyway, if anyone can provide some less technical info on this very interesting oil, I would much appreciate it. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Dear Kathy, I have some Black Cumin eo. It is very strong and you will need to put it in a wooden container to keep the smell at bay once you have opened it. I bought it with the anticipation of using it in a number of formulas only to find that the smell was too overpowering so I reverted back to regular Black Pepper oil which is really just as effective and less caustic to the skin. I bought my Black Cumin eo through Gritman.com out of Houston. Go to their web site and pull up their spec sheets of the Black Cumin. The last time that I looked at their spec sheets they were pretty in depth. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 It looks like they sell Cuminum cyminu, which is a different species than Nigella sativa (commonly just " Cumin " ). The " black " oils I found on search were Black Currant, Black Pepper, and Black Spruce. Thank you for the info though! I am now wondering which it is that you have. Can you check the botanical name of the cumin you have? They may just not have the Black Cumin one anymore, or it may be the plain " Cumin " one. > I bought my Black Cumin eo through Gritman.com out of Houston.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Kathy, I purchased a book on Amazon.com called Black Cumin The magical Egyptian Herb. By Peter Schleicher, M.C. And Mohamed Saleh, M.D. It is a wonderfully informative book and speaks about the seeds and the oil. I use this oil in some of my products and absolutely wouldn't be without it.
