Detoxification occurs through the oil’s ability to lower blood sugar. The product improves metabolism and reduces an increased appetite.
The oil helps regulate body weight and eliminate excess weight. In 2018, the journal Ethnopharmacology published the results of an experiment confirming the effectiveness of Nigella sativa oil for weight loss. Study participants took 1 gram of caraway oil (in capsules) three times a day before meals. It was found that Nigella sativa oil reduces the harm caused by obesity and blocks inflammatory processes.

For disease prevention, adults are recommended to take 1 to 2.5 grams of oil orally on an empty stomach twice a day. Children may take half a teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach. The preventive treatment course should not exceed four months. To determine the correct amount for a specific disease, consult a doctor.

Nigella sativa oil contains plant hormones, active substances and vitamins:
Melatonin. Nigella sativa oil contains melatonin, the so-called sleep hormone produced by the brain at night. For prevention and a full night’s sleep, take one teaspoon of oil before bed. The oil contains a complex of nutrients, including amino acids, vitamins and phytosterols.
Thymoquinone. Thymoquinone is a biologically active component of Nigella sativa. Its effectiveness has been proven in treating many diseases: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, liver function disorders, periodontal disease, stomatitis, cancer and many others. Thymoquinone fights inflammation, participates in metabolism and relieves pain.
Phytosterols. This substance helps regulate cholesterol. These substances also play a particular role for the skin because they produce collagen and reduce its loss.
Amino acids. More than 85% of Nigella sativa oil consists of fatty acids. The main ones are the polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-6 and omega-9, which regulate good cholesterol levels in the blood. These acids support normal endocrine system function and improve metabolism.
Vitamins: Nigella sativa oil contains a complex of B vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9. It also contains vitamins A, K, C and D.
B vitamins stimulate metabolism, benefit the skin, nails and hair, lower “bad” cholesterol and support the nervous system. Vitamin B9, or folic acid, plays a special role for pregnant women. It is responsible for proper fetal development and helps ease the woman’s condition during and after pregnancy.
Vitamin A (retinol) supports female reproductive function, vitamin K is involved in blood clotting, and vitamin C forms collagen and is essential for the skin. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption, which benefits the bones.

For children under 3, Nigella sativa oil should be taken only as prescribed by a doctor; from age 3, use with caution and make sure there is no allergic reaction.
Although Nigella sativa oil is not characterised by absolute harm to humans, it is best used with caution in certain conditions: pregnancy, hyperkinetic disorders of the biliary system, acute gastritis, diarrhoea, blood clotting disorders, and systemic or local allergic skin manifestations.
