Nigella is another name for "black cumin" .
It is a plant that is full of resources and excellent for health.
Its seeds are used as a spice in the kitchen, but also as traditional remedies.
Discover the plant with a thousand virtues and its many health and beauty benefits.
I leaned some time ago on this incredible plant:the nigella. This plant, which comes from Asia, is still widely used today in Egypt, Morocco and India.
And it's not for nothing that they say there that she heals everything!
Its many virtues are due to everything it naturally contains, which would take too long to detail. But it heals a lot of things that can be put into 4 main categories.
1. It strengthens the immune system
The nigella naturally allows our immune system to produce more antibodies.
It therefore helps to fight more easily all that is related to problems due to an immune deficiency
For example, it helps to fight against hay fever and asthma, fungal infections...
It also provides general relief from respiratory problems.
2. It fights infections
Its natural properties give it anti-infectious properties used to treat biliary and urinary problems. Its drainage action thus also participates in the elimination of toxins in the lungs and intestines.
It can help the body to fight tiring infectious diseases, such as mononucleosis or toxoplasmosis, by providing energy.
3. It is anti-inflammatory
The nigella contains components that will allow us to fight against inflammation in a natural way and in particular, against rheumatism.
At the same time, it contains antioxidants that will participate in the regeneration of tissues.
4. She is an unparalleled beauty ally
Finally, the nigella contains exfoliating and nourishing properties.
These properties will allow us to use it in the treatment of skin infections such as eczema or psoriasis, acne or cracks.
Egyptian women soothe the sunburns of their toddlers by giving them naturally soothing black cumin oil.
These virtues also make it a preferred ingredient for our cosmetics. It helps us to fight against dark circles and wrinkles, or to fortify and moisturize skin and hair.

It comes in the form of seeds or oil. You can get it in organic stores or on the Internet.
