Черный тмин-6
Это уже просто рассказка от Бутча.
I'm seeing a lot of bits and pieces of information on Black Cumin on
this list .. so lemme give you SOME of what I have. I know a fair
amount about it as Turkey is a major producer and my Turkish company has
been one of the major suppliers of this since 1996 .. some via direct
export to the US, Europe and the Middle East and some through my US
company in Maryland.
The name Cumin is misleading because its no way related to the Cuminum
cyminum most Westerners are familiar with .. as is the case with all
Common Names for plants and oils .. we can get wrapped around the axle
of misinformation easily. There are three species of Nigella .. Nigella
sativa and Nigella damascena and Nigella orientalis. I know little about
N. damascena and N. orientalis so I won't address them in this post.
Black Seed is another of the common names .. primary source of this is
Arabic speaking countries .. others are Love in a Mist, Fennel Flower,
Kalonji, Schwarzcummel, Sinouj, Nutmeg Flower, Black Caraway, Habba
Sowda, Devil-In-A-Bush, Roman Coriander and other common names. In
Turkish, its called Karaman Kimyon.
Nigella sativa is NOT an essential oil .. its cold pressed from seeds.
It could be distilled .. we tried it .. and the yield was so low that we
calculated the cost of a distilled oil at close to $7,000 a kilogram -
I'm not embellishing on this! It contains chemical components that act
as preservatives .. thus, the shelf life is considerable .. I can't tell
you exactly because we've never had to keep it longer than 18 months.
Thymoquinone and thymohydroquinone are two of the components of Black
Cumin. Other major chemical constituents in Nigella sativa are Palmatic
acid, Stearic acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Ecosadeinoic Acid, etc.,
lots and lots of protein. Nigella is a valuable source of protein,
carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, C, niacin and
minerals - calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, selenium, magnesium and
zinc - and it's a skin emollient.
Published Scientific Reports (that I will neither vouch for, attempt to
justify or confirm) claim that Nigella sativa has a wide range of health
benefits.

Black seed stimulates bone marrow and immune cells and raises the
interferon production, protects normal cells against cell destroying
effects of viruses, destroys tumor cells and raises the number of
anti-bodies producing B cells. ~ Cancer Immuno-biology Laboratory,
South Carolina
Black seed contains valuable unsaturated fatty acids, for example
Linoleic and Gammalinolen acids get into the organism. By that it
possible to reach a synthesis of important immune regulating substances
derived as from Prostaglandin E1. Linoleic acid stabilizes the cell
membranes and Prostaglandin has the effect of inhibiting inflammation.
By that the immune reactions are stopped which cause the illnesses and
which otherwise could be the start of many chronic illnesses like acne
and hay fever right up to cancer. ~ Dr. Peter Schleicher Immunologist,

Black seed proves to have an ant histamine, antioxidant, anti-biotic,
anti-mycotic and broncho-dilating effect. ~ Study of Black Seed Oil on
humans, American Scientists
Black seed is truly a remarkable herb that has been used for over 3000
years. It contains over 100 valuable components. It is a significant
source of essential fatty acids, proteins, carbohydrates and other
vitamins and minerals. "
The seeds are also rich in sterols, especially beta-sitosterol, which is
known to have anti carcinogenic activity". ~ Dr. Michael Tierra L.AC.

Black seed tests prove to be genuine universal remedy. ~ Pharmaceutical

There are more .. but this is enough .. methinks.
This oil has special meaning to the Moslems. In a (translated and
narrated) passage of one of the Holy Books, its written that, "*** He
fell ill on the way and when we arrived at Medina he was still sick.
Ibn Abi 'Atiq came to visit him and said to us, "Treat him with black
cumin. Take five or seven seeds and crush them and drop the mixture
(mixed with oil) into both nostrils, for 'Aisha has said to me that she
heard the Prophet saying, 'This black cumin is healing for all diseases
except As-Sam. 'Aisha said, 'What is As-Sam?' He said, 'Death."
It's used for upper respiratory conditions, allergies, bronchitis,
fevers, flu, asthma and emphysema to name a few. Supposedly it is not
advisable for pregnant ladies to use it .. not sure why, can't find a
credible reference on it .. but I was told this by a Jordanian doctor.
Jim Duke says it powerful medicine....and - unless I'm dreaming, I read
somewhere (or heard) that it has some chemical components that have been
recognized and accepted by the FDA as being anti viral......
It appears that the major systems affected are the lungs, stomach and
spleen....but, Jim Duke also says it's traditionally used in folk
medicines and believed to be effective for a wide variety of other
diseases and conditions including bilious ailments, calluses, cancer,
colic, corns, eruptions, headache, jaundice, myrmecia, orchitis,
puerperal fever, sclerosis, skin, snakebite, stomach ache, swellings,
tumors of the abdomen and eyes, and warts. SO, all things considered,
I'd say there is great potential for therapeutic value in a skin care
product - huh?
There's a book, "The Healing Power Of Black Cumin," by Sylvia Luetjohann
that covers traditional uses and presents latest scientific research.
In this book, it states that Nigella sativa is the most beneficial of
the three species of Nigella. This book covers the many medicinal
applications of the oil include skin diseases, allergic and infectious
respiratory disorders, and immune system problems. Includes application
instructions for many of the conditions which can benefit from black
cumin on 156pp. I DO NOT have the book. This information is from a
reliable source though.
Black Cumin seeds are commonly eaten in this part of the world .. and in
the last few years, there has been a great increase in the popularity of
ingesting the pressed oil. The seeds are a pepper like spice and were
used as pepper long before the Egyptians knew about black pepper.
The Egyptian Black Cumin is ancient and native to Syria, but cultivated
from central Europe to North Africa and Western Asia. It is not related
to Fennel or Cumin. In Arabic, the seeds are called Blessed Seeds. The
seeds are often sprinkled on bread and used to flavor some foods. In
perfumery, the seeds, which have a coriander like scent, are used in
sachets and potpourri. They were medicinally used in ancient Egypt and
Rome, hence the name Roman Coriander.
Basically, it is a popular spice in India, Turkey, Greece and the Middle
East, and has a long history of use in Islamic/Middle Eastern medicine.
There is much to be learned from the East .. this is one that has gotten
past most Westerners .. but we sell METRIC TONS of it each year.
The seeds are carminative and stimulate the appetite. Black Cumin seeds
were found in King Tut's tomb. There are also Biblical references Isaiah
28: 25,27. There's some difference of opinion over this, but most
scholars agree that the plant referred here is Black Cumin.
Black Cumin is an annual herb growing to 18 inches high with finely
divided leaves producing greenish flowers that turn a dull mauve
creating horned capsules containing numerous black spicy seeds. The
seeds must be carefully harvested to avoid spoiling. They must be
carefully threshed with sticks and not rolled over by a sledge like hard
cereal grains. This is described in Isaiah as referred to above.
