What are the contraindications to black cumin oil?

Although a natural product is beneficial to health, it can also be harmful. This depends on the history of the person consuming it, their current state of health and other parameters.

The way it's used will also determine its effects: the wrong dosage, application in the wrong place and the natural product becomes a nuisance aggravating or generating a poor state of health.

Let's find out together when it's best to avoid it.

Contraindications of black cumin oil for adults

An overdose can be slightly toxic due to the presence of saponins and alkaloids. The daily dosage is a maximum of three teaspoons, also depending on the person's ability to tolerate it.

In fact, for some people 1 or 2 teaspoons is the limit.

If you're on anticoagulant treatment, it's also advisable to avoid it, as it has an impact on blood circulation in your body.

Pregnant women

Pregnant women are clearly not advised not to consume black cumin oil.

We can only say that caution is advised, as there are no scientific studies on the subject.

Babies and black cumin oil?

There are no studies on babies under 13 months on the consumption of black cumin oil. Surely because no one would want to take the risk of doing the tests and that's understandable.

The recommendation is therefore the same as for pregnant women.

It's perfectly legitimate to deride these recommendations, but what do you want to advise in this case? Pretend that everything is ok and advise you to consume it? At what price?

Banning it at all costs also seems to be aberrant in the sense that no risk has been proven. If we forbid things in this sense, nothing would be consumable on Earth practically.

People suffering from dermatitis

In contact with your skin, black cumin oil can cause inflammation if you suffer from dermatitis.

To see if you're affected, do a skin test. This involves applying the oil to an inconspicuous area of your body and waiting for the reaction. You can do this on your elbow, for example.

Beware of rushing

Whatever the case, you should never stop medical treatment and self-medicate. The risks of doing so can be disastrous.

Let's not improvise ourselves as researchers or doctors in our spare time, this is about your health.

This is all the more true for at-risk populations such as breastfeeding women, the obese and the sick.
