Anticancer Effects
The anticancer effects of black seed oil are promising, but they're not fully researched or understood, yet.3Yimer, Ebrahim M., et al. ‘Nigella Sativa L. (Black Cumin): A Promising Natural Remedy for Wide Range of Illnesses.’ Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Hindawi, 12 May 2019, www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2019/1528635 It may protect liver cells from chemical carcinogens that contribute to hepatic cancers. A study in 2009 noted that N. sativa extracts induced death in pancreatic cancer cells and slowed the spread of cancerous cells overall.4‘Anticancer Activities of Nigella Sativa (Black Cumin).’ PubMed, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22754079
More research is needed to evaluate the possible health benefits of black seed oil. Like other natural supplements, black seed oil hasn't been evaluated by the FDA to treat diseases.
