Consuming black cumin oil on an empty stomach makes it easier for our bodies to assimilate its nutrients, including its vitamins, thymoquinone and all its active ingredients.
It doesn't need to be accompanied to be more easily absorbed.
If it is, it will mainly be to make it a little easier to bear its taste, which can be quite strong for some (especially for the Ethiopian version of habba sawda oil).
How to dose black cumin oil?
Depending on your health, it may be advisable to consume more or less black cumin oil. Another criterion is also your age and build.
For any healthy adult, the recommendation is between 1 and 3 spoonfuls a day (between 5 and 15 mL).
Attention, for the following people, a medical consultation is necessary before choosing a dosage:
- Children
- Pregnant women
- Lactating women
As the taste of the oil is quite strong, we recommend starting with small doses diluted in honey.
Gradually increase the quantity until you reach 3 teaspoons.
For a more easily ingested dosage, you can consume it in capsules.
How often should you drink black cumin oil?
How often you drink black cumin oil depends above all on your health and how you react to its consumption.
If you consume this to prevent the onset of disease, we recommend drinking it every day on an empty stomach, at least once a day. Do not exceed the maximum dosage.
You can also consume it between meals, although it will be less easily assimilated at this time.
For easier topical use, you can use a cigella solid shampoo.
Beware of over-consumption of habba sawda oil
Maximum doses have been mentioned as excessive consumption of black cumin oil can cause abdominal pain, nausea, headaches or other allergic reactions.
Diabetics and those with low blood pressure should be even more careful of this overdose phenomenon.
