Traditional use: In the ancient Egyptian, as well as in the Persian-Arabic and Greek-Roman medicine, black cumin was already a permanent element. Black cumin seeds have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. In traditional folk medicine, black cumin seed is used to treat a number of intestinal and respiratory diseases. The oil of the seeds is also considered a local anesthetic. Linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid found in high concentrations in black cumin seed extract, can significantly reduce the blood cholesterol, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

In food: Black cumin is used especially in Indian cuisine as a spice. The extract goes well with oriental salads and other savory dishes, but it can also be used in baked goods and cheese products.

In food supplements: The black cumin extract is suitable for use in food supplements due to its high linoleic acid content, among other things. Linoleic acid contributes to maintaining a normal cholesterol level in the blood.

In cosmetics: The extract contains a high level of linoleic acid. Linoleic acid belongs to the essential unsaturated fatty acids and, as an essential component of ceramides, is involved in maintaining a natural barrier that protects the skin from drying out. Black cumin extracts containing more than 3% thymoquinone, according to studies, contribute to the improvement of hydration, firmness and elasticity of the skin. Therefore, the extract is suitable for use in moisturizers, massage oils and other care products, especially in products against dry and irritated skin.
