Nigella oil is composed of many highly beneficial active ingredients including thymoquinone and fatty acids.
But not only that! It's known to be very rich in vitamins A and E, making this vegetable oil a multi-functional natural product.
It can be used as often as you like.
It can be used both internally and locally, to act on hair, skin, face and the whole body.
Roles of the vitamins present in black cumin oil
Vitamin A present in nigella is very important for strengthening our immune system, acting locally on the skin but also on our vision.
Applied to the hair, we'll benefit via vitamin A from accelerated cell renewal promoting good health.
You can use a cumin solid shampoo to benefit from vitamin A more easily on your hair.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant and plays a protective role for the skin. Protecting it from oxidative damage, it acts as much on healing as on the overall health of the hair when applied topically or ingested.
In fact, it protects it from UV rays and pollution, which make it dry and brittle.
Other active ingredients in black cumin oil
In addition to vitamins A and E, black cumin oil is rich in nigellone and thymoquinone. In fact, that's what gives it its strength.
Especially thymoquinone, which is a very powerful antioxidant, greatly boosting our immune system.
Some studies have even shown anti-cancer properties on different types of cancers.
Pain and inflammation are also reduced with this active compound, thus being able to be defined by the terms "anti-inflammatory" and "analgesic".
Nigellone is also anti-inflammatory, but also possesses antihistaminic properties, helping to combat allergies.
Omegas present in black cumin oil
Nigella oil is reputed to also be a concentrate of Omega-6 (Linoleic Acid) and Omega-9 (Monounsaturated Fatty Acids).
Omega-6 is used to maintain the hydration of the body's skin, as well as that present under the hair. It balances the inflammatory response, helping to fight infection and heal wounds. It also strengthens the immune system.
Omega-9 acts to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by regulating cholesterol levels, in particular by acting on the arteries. It is a significant support to our body's natural production of this entity.
Omega-9 is a powerful antioxidant.
