Miracle Black Seed

Black seed extract (seeds of Nigella sativa) has been employed for thousands of years as a spice and food preservative. Considered native to the Mediterranean region, black seed is cultivated in North Africa, Asia and southeastern Europe. The largest producers of black seed are Egypt, India, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Turkey.

Black seed has an interesting history that can be traced back to the Egyptian Dynasty. The seed was discovered in Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s tomb way back in 1325 BC. The ancient Egyptians had very strong beliefs regarding the items they placed in the tombs of their deceased pharaohs, presumably to protect them in the afterlife.

Black seed extract contains thymoquinone, nigellone, essential fatty acids (EFAs), protein and complex carbohydrate. It could help reduce the symptoms of poor blood circulation such as cold hands and feet, numbness, fatigue and so on. Black seed extract increases blood flow while bringing more nutrients and oxygen to the body system especially the extremities.

Great Garlic

On the other hand, garlic is another herb which has shown beneficial therapeutic potential. It has been used as both food and medicine for thousands of years. Garlic produces a chemical called allicin. This is what makes garlic work for certain conditions. Allicin is also responsible for the pungent smell of garlic.

Garlic, taken together with black seed extract, could be used for many conditions related to the strengthening of the body.
