Blood Pressure and Obesity
Black seed oil has several cardiovascular benefits. It contains methanolic extracts that decrease triglyceride and LDL levels in blood plasma while increasing HDL levels. Nigella sativa has a mild diuretic effect and may act as a calcium channel blocker that may lower blood pressure.2H;, Tavakkoli A;Mahdian V;Razavi BM;Hosseinzadeh. ‘Review on Clinical Trials of Black Seed (Nigella Sativa ) and Its Active Constituent, Thymoquinone.’ Journal of Pharmacopuncture, U.S. National Library of Medicine, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30087794
The unsaturated fatty acids in black seed oil, including linoleic acid, oleic acid and dihomolinoleic acid, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
