How to Prepare Black Cumin Seeds
How to prepare and use the seeds: Lightly toast organic seeds for a few minutes in a warm pan. Grind in a coffee bean grinder and take 1/4 tsp or more in a smoothie or on food twice a day.
I use the method outlined above for heating and grinding the seeds. I started by adding 1/4 tsp to a smoothie and have increased to 1/2 tsp. I currently consume 1/2 – 1 tsp of black cumin seeds daily. When I am not having a smoothie, I will sprinkle the ground seeds on food.
Option to Consuming Black Cumin Seeds: Consume Black Seed Oil
I also have a bottle of Black Seed Oil that I add to hot tea. Start with 1/4 tsp and slowly work up to 1 tsp. Most health experts and natural physicians recommend taking 1 teaspoon of the oil two times per day for therapeutic effects, on an empty stomach/before meals and bedtime. Or once per day, for a healthy maintenance dose or as a preventative measure.

The Tangible Miracle of Black Cumin.
It is one of the earliest cultivated plants in human history. Meaning it was one of the early providers of life.
The main active ingredient in black seed oil is crystalline nigellone.
The seed oil also contains beta sitosterol, thymoquinone, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, proteins and vitamins B1, B2 and B3. They also contain calcium, folic acid, iron, copper, zinc and phosphorous.
The high content of phytosterols found in Black Cumin Oil – are also necessary for the human body for natural production of hormones, provitamin D and bile acid – aiding in a prevention of endocrine disorders, immune deficiency and the #1 killer – cardiovascular disease.
As a result, these tiny Black Cumin seeds – provide an all-around super multi-vitamin of nutrition.
Quality Counts: Black Seed Oil
How to Consume Black Seed Oil
The “OIL” – is the most effective form to consume Black Cumin because the oil is more concentrated than whole seeds unpressed, and is more readily assimilated.
Also, because of it’s potent, absorbable concentration – only 1 teaspoon is needed per dose.
Most health experts and natural physicians recommend taking 1 teaspoon of the oil two times per day for therapeutic effects, on an empty stomach/before meals and bedtime. Or once per day, for a healthy maintenance dose or as a preventative measure.
Black Cumin can have sedative effects for some though, and because the oils have bile-expelling characteristics, in my opinion, it is best taken in the evening – unless utilizing 2x per day for therapeutic benefits.
- You can take the oil on its own, mixed in water or juice (*great with raw honey), or can be added to warm tea – like herbal chai, etc.
- Many people have also added a small amount to their face & body creams, with phenomenal results. Also beneficial topically for burns, psoriasis and alternative skin disorders.
- Mix with honey and/or garlic for a great tonic for effective immunity-boosting during cold and flu season.
- Black Cumin should be taken daily as a preventative measure for all illness, and life-long vitality.
Only Consume 100% PURE Black Cumin Oil.
Purchase organic, pure-pressed oil that is completely free of all additives – and should be stored in a light-protective and air-sealed Miron bottle.
Currently, Activation Products is the only supplier of pure Black Cumin Oil – matched to these standards.
