Nigella Sativa - The seed of Blessing

An annual herbaceous plant, black cumin seed (botanical name is nigella satival.), or black seed forshort, is believed to be indigenous to the Mediterranean region but has beencultivated into otherparts of the world including the Arabian peninsula, northern Africa and partsof Asia.

Tiny and hairy, being no more than 3mm in length, black seed originates fromthe common fennel flower plant (nigella sativa) of the buttercup(Ranunculaceae) family. Theplant has finely divided foliage and pale bluish purple or white flowers. Theflowers grow terminally on its branches while the leaves grow opposite eachother in pairs, on either side of the stem. Its lower leaves are small andpetioled, and the upper leaves are long (6-10cm). The stalk of the plantreaches a height of twelve to eighteen inches as its fruit, the black seed,matures. Nigella sativa is bisexual and forms a fruit capsule, which consistsof many white triagonal seeds. Once the fruit capsule has matured, it opens upand the seeds contained within are exposed to the air, becoming black in color(black seeds). Nigellasativa and its black seed are known by other names, varying between places.Some call it black caraway, habbat al barakah and habbat sawda , Others call itblack cumin (kalounji), onion seeds or even coriander seeds. In English, thenigella sativa plant is commonly referred to as black cumin. Nevertheless, thisis nigella sativa, which has been known and used from ancient times and is alsoknown in Persian as Shonaiz. 

Theearliest written reference to black seed is found in the book of Isaiah in theold-testament, Isaiah contrasts the reaping of black cumin with wheat: for theblack cumin is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolledover the cumin, but the black cumin is beaten out with a stick, and the cuminwith a rod. (Isaiah 28:25,27 nkjv).

Easton's bible dictionary clarifies that the Hebrew word for black cumin,ketsah, refers to without doubt the nigella sativa, a small annual of the orderRanunculaceae which grows wild in the dioscoredes, a Greek physician of the 1stcentury, recorded that black seeds were taken to treat headaches, nasalcongestion, toothache, and intestinal worms. They were also used, he reported,as a diuretic to promote menstruation and increase milk production.

The Muslim scholar al-biruni (973-1048), who composed a treatise on the earlyorigins of Indian and Chinese drugs, mentions that the black seed is a kind ofgrain called alwanak in the sigzi dialect, later, this was confirmed by suharbakht who explained it to be habb-i-sajzi (viz. sigzi grains). This referenceto black seed as grains points to the seed's possible nutritional use duringthe tenth and eleventh centuries, in the Greco Arab/Unani Tibb system ofmedicine, which originated from Hippocrates, his contemporary galen and IbnSina. Black seed has been regarded as a valuable remedy in hepatic anddigestive disorders and has been described as a stimulant in a variety ofconditions.

Ibn Sina (980-1037), most famous for his volumes called the canon of medicine,regarded by many as the most famous book in the history of medicine, east orwest, refers to black seed as the seed that stimulates the body's energy andhelps recovery from fatigue or dispiritedness. Black seed is also included inthe list of natural drugs of al-Tibb al-n abawi, and, according to tradition,"hold onto the use of the black seed for in it is healing for allillnesses except death" (Sahih Bukhari vol 7 bk 71 #592).

This prophetic reference in describing black seed, as having a healing for allillnesses is not exaggerated as it at first appears. Recent research hasprovided evidence that most illnesses arise because of an imbalanced ordysfunctional immune system, which cannot perform its primary function ofdefending the body optimally. Research also indicates that black seed containsan ability to significantly boost the human immune system.
