Black cumin oil (Nigella sativa) has been known for millennia for its diverse health benefits. Its positive effects are particularly valued for allergies such as hay fever and skin allergies. Our Josty black cumin oil comes directly from a small organic farmer in Egypt and is gently cold-pressed in our in-house oil mill in Mettmenstetten to preserve the valuable ingredients.
What is black cumin oil and how does it work?
Black cumin oil for hay fever and allergies
Studies* have shown that black cumin oil has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. The active ingredient thymoquinone can reduce histamine release, which lessens allergic reactions. Regular intake of black cumin oil can alleviate hay fever symptoms such as sneezing, blocked nose, and itchy eyes. It is recommended to start taking it a few weeks before the allergy season begins to optimally prepare the body.
Application for skin allergies and neurodermatitis
The external application of black cumin oil can be supportive for skin allergies, neurodermatitis, and eczema. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, it promotes skin regeneration and relieves itching and redness. Regular care with black cumin oil strengthens the skin's immune system and can prevent irritations.
Why the quality of black cumin oil is crucial
