Antiviral Treatment
Black seed oil may help suppress viral loads. One study analyzed the effects of black seed oil among people with hepatitis C. Improvements in total protein, platelet and red blood cell counts were noted. Most participants experienced drastic viral load reduction, and approximately 16 percent became seronegative, meaning the virus couldn't be detected.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
Two cases of HIV infection were also studied. Both people took black seed oil three times daily for one year. Viral loads decreased steadily, and one person became briefly seronegative.3Yimer, Ebrahim M., et al. ‘Nigella Sativa L.
