Seeds have been found in Egyptian tombs, including the tomb of Tutankhamun. The Old Testament mentions it in the Book of Isaiah. <em>Ketzach<\/em>, which is not threshed but beaten with a stick - according to the prevailing opinion, this refers to black cumin, and the description fits: the delicate capsules easily release the seeds.<\/p>\n<p>In Arabic medicine, the plant enjoys a reputation that few others have. A saying attributed to the Prophet Muhammad mentions <em>Habbat al-baraka<\/em>, The phrase &quot;the seed of blessing&quot; was used to describe black cumin as a remedy for every disease except death. This statement has shaped the spread of black cumin more than any pharmacological discovery, and it continues to influence how the oil is marketed today. Historically, this is a significant statement about the plant&#039;s cultural standing. However, it is not valid as evidence of efficacy, and reputable sources should distinguish between the two.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, black cumin never really caught on. Hildegard von Bingen knew of it, and medieval herbals included it, but caraway prevailed in the kitchen, and other plants took its place in the pharmacy. The confusion surrounding its name didn&#039;t help: &quot;Black cumin&quot; sounds like caraway, but botanically it&#039;s a member of the buttercup family and thus more closely related to columbine and larkspur. The garden neighbor <em>Nigella damascena<\/em>, Love-in-a-mist is purely an ornamental plant - its seeds do not belong in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"nutzen\">\n<h2><span>To use<\/span>Lots of lab work, many small studies, little certainty.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\">When it comes to black cumin, it&#039;s worth openly stating the difference between the amount of research and the current state of knowledge. There are several thousand publications on the subject. <em>Nigella sativa<\/em> and its key molecule thymoquinone, and they describe anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, blood sugar-lowering, and immunomodulating effects in cell culture and animal models. What is lacking is a European drug monograph: neither the EMA nor Commission E lists black cumin. In Europe, it is a foodstuff, not a recognized medicinal product, and this accurately reflects the lack of evidence in human studies.<\/p>\n<p>The area of allergic respiratory symptoms is most frequently discussed. Several small, sometimes placebo-controlled, studies on allergic rhinitis and asthma have shown that black cumin seed oil improved symptom scores and, in some cases, also influenced laboratory values such as eosinophil counts. The number of participants is usually in the low double digits to just under triple digits, the preparations vary considerably, and several studies originate from regions with significant publication bias. This is a signal that deserves to be taken seriously\u2014but it is no reason to forgo using an asthma inhaler.<\/p>\n<p>A second area of focus is metabolic parameters. Meta-analyses of smaller studies indicate slight reductions in fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and LDL cholesterol. The effects are small, the heterogeneity of the included studies is high, and the quality of the individual studies is regularly rated as low to moderate by the authors themselves. Those with diabetes or cholesterol problems should not treat them with black seed oil. Anyone already receiving treatment who wishes to take black seed oil in addition should inform their doctor, as an additional reduction in blood glucose levels may be relevant when combined with existing medication.<\/p>\n<p>What remains is a good spice with an interesting molecule. Thymoquinone is a serious subject of research, being further investigated in oncology and immunology \u2013 in the laboratory. This research says nothing about what a teaspoon of oil at the breakfast table will do. We state this so clearly because black cumin seed oil is sold with very grand promises, and because the plant&#039;s cultural significance is often reinterpreted in advertising as a medical claim.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-zahlen\">\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>0,4 - 2,5 %<\/b><span>essential oil in the seed<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>up to 50 %<\/b><span>Thymoquinone content in the essential oil<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>30 - 40 %<\/b><span>fatty oil - predominantly linoleic acid<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 3 mm<\/b><span>Length of a single angular seed<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"inhalt\">\n<h2><span>Ingredients<\/span>Two oils in one seed<\/h2>\n<p>Black cumin seeds contain two very different oil fractions, and anyone who can&#039;t distinguish between them won&#039;t understand the products on the shelf. First, there&#039;s the fixed oil, comprising around 30 to 40 percent, consisting mainly of linoleic and oleic acid \u2013 this is the mass that runs out during pressing. Second, there&#039;s the essential oil, with less than two and a half percent, which contains all the aroma and the pharmacologically interesting thymoquinone. Cold-pressed black cumin seed oil contains both; a distilled essential oil contains only the second fraction and is not intended for internal use.<\/p>\n<p>Thymoquinone is a quinone and therefore a reactive molecule. It decomposes under light, heat, and oxygen, and this is precisely why the quality of black cumin seed oil varies so greatly. An oil that has sat for months in a clear bottle on a warm shelf will have little of its original quality left. Dark glass, cool storage, small containers, and consumption within a few months are not marketing ploys, but rather dictate the substance&#039;s chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, p-cymene and \u03b1-pinene are present as further terpenes, along with saponins of the melanthin group and alkaloids of the isoquinoline and indazole types, including nigellin and nigellidine. The alkaloids are the reason why caution should be exercised with very high doses \u2013 they are harmless in quantities typical of spices, but their levels become unpredictable when consumed in liters of oil. Studies on rodents show liver and kidney damage at extreme doses; there are no reliable limits for humans.<\/p>\n<p>For cat owners, one important point to note is that cats metabolize terpenes and phenols much less efficiently than dogs or humans because they lack some of the necessary enzymes. Despite this, black cumin seed oil is widely recommended as a tick repellent for animals. However, this is not advisable for cats, and even for dogs, the amount and method of application should be discussed with a veterinarian beforehand.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"kombi\">\n<h2><span>Enhanced combinations<\/span>Where black cumin really belongs<\/h2>\n<p>Black cumin is an underrated spice: it brings an oniony-peppery note that neither cumin nor caraway can provide.
