Kalonji(Karim Jeerakam /Black Seed)is high in antioxidants, which help neutralize harmful free radicals that may contribute to the development of diseases like cancer. Test-tube studies have found some impressive results regarding the potential anti-cancer effects of kalonji and thymoquinone, its active compound.

Black seed or  Nigella sativa L.  is used for treating digestive tract conditions including gas, colic, diarrhea, dysentery, constipation, and hemorrhoids. It is also used for respiratory conditions including asthma, allergies, cough, bronchitis, emphysema, flu, swine flu, and congestion.

Kalonji oil is used to fight hair fall and even to induce hair re-growth, due to the presence of Nigellone and Thymoquinone in it. … It also nourishes the hair follicles and prevents the hair from falling off. The application of this oil is said to be a safe and natural way to re-grow hair, without medication.

Loaded with nutrients, kalonji is great for your hair. It gives your hair the required nutrients and increases your hair growth. By improving the health of your hair follicles, this oil reduces the overall health of your hair. It not only increases your hair growth but also prevents hair loss.

Another benefit of using kalonji oil for hair is that its regular use helps to not just prevent premature greying, but also reverses greying of hair in a number of cases. This happens because of the high content of linoleic acid, which helps prevent the reduction of the black-pigment cells in your follicles.

The protective effects of kalonji, with its antioxidant content and ability to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, helps to protect your liver. Kalonji is known to reduce the toxicity of chemicals and protect against liver and kidney damage.

Regular intake of Kalonji oil, seeds or supplements not only improves fasting blood sugar but also develops insulin resistance. Add a quarter spoon of Kalonji oil to a cup of black tea and drink it on empty stomach to bring down the levels of blood sugar.
