Black Seed Oil: 6 Kick-Ass Ways It Can Boost Men's Health.

Black seed oil - also known as Kalonji oil and black cumin oil – is an ancient and traditional medicine that has been used across the Middle East and Asia for millennia. Modern research is just beginning to uncover the many promising health qualities associated with taking black seed oil as a natural remedy.

This plant-based product is an incredible source of natural antioxidants, showing benefits in male health, as well as being great for your immune system and general wellbeing.

Research has shown that black seed oil has potential benefits for some of the following common conditions:

• Reduced libido and fertility
• Prostate conditions
• Hair loss and dandruff
• Acne, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin conditions
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes
• Bacterial, viral, and fungal infection
• Cancer
• Liver disorders including hepatitis C
• Lung conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Allergies and nasal congestion

The seeds come from the Nigella Sativa plant, which has been used for over 3000 years as a source of medicine, flavor, and seasoning. Compared to modern medicines, the benefits brought by taking black seed oil comes with very few side-effects.

Is black seed oil safe to use?

Black seed oil has advantages over modern medicines, offering relatively little side effects while helping to prevent many conditions common in North America and the West. If you use any medications, make sure you discuss with your physician before you take black seed oil, to prevent possible interactions. 

Black seed oil is classified by the FDA as GRAS (generally recognized as safe).

 

How do I use black seed oil?

Black seed oil is available in topical and oral forms. At ILK company we sell black seed oil capsules, which should be taken 1-2 times per day. You may notice some immediate effects of using black seed oil, but some of the effects on symptom control can take longer.

Can it really combat obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes?

Almost half of US adults are classified as obese, increasing the risk of a never-ending list of serious health risks, including:

• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Cancer

Anyone that has struggled with their weight knows how difficult it is to consistently lose weight and keep it off. Research has shown that most diets are doomed to fail, with weight loss due to dieting often being short-lived. So, if you’re determined to improve your health and get in shape every little bit helps, right?

Sounds good so far. What about weight loss?

Black seed oil has been shown to have an association with reduced appetite and weight loss. Not too shabby when many other treatments for obesity have nasty side effects!

In addition to this, there is some evidence that kalonji oil can reduce levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, increase levels of good cholesterol (HDL), and help diabetics control their blood glucose levels.

As an added benefit, black seed oil has been shown to help reduce your blood pressure – a common condition that those with obesity face.

Of course, if you suffer from any of these conditions you must continue to follow your physician’s advice and take your medications, but black seed oil has very few side effects and could possibly give you that extra boost that you need – so why not give it a go?
