Black Seed used for healing

Salaam everyone,

Does anyone use black seed for healing purposes? I am using black seed oil for a skin condition, and I was just wondering the exprience others have had with it.

Narrated Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaahu 'anhu): I heard Allah’s Messenger (Sal-Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) saying, “There is healing in black seed for all diseases except death.” [Meaning of Sahih al-Bukhaaree, Book of Medicine, Hadeeth No. 5688]

Well...I have been doing some research and read some amazing stories, of how people with serious dieases used black seed, and over time, they were cured. Some of these include inflamatory diseases, allergies, joint pain, and cancer.What do you think? Do you know anyone who had such an experience?

Re: Black Seed used for healing

Yup, I had to bake them and stuff. And I was working at Tims too, so I know all of them by heart.

Re: Black Seed used for healing

caraway seed looks like zeera to me, isn't zeera called fennel (or something like that) seed?

Re: Black Seed used for healing

zeera is cumin yaar fennel is sonf.

Re: Black Seed used for healing

umer I used kavanji once beause i had read the same hadith, but plkease remember never ever use it in excess, i made a grave mistake, it is very benficial but i didn't know how to use it so i woild just boil a palm full og kalvanji in milk and take it (thinking it would make my skin look really good), i had the opposite reaction, my skin went all pale, i feel tired all the time and loat a lot of weight( and i was laready very thin), i used to have very very good skin before using kalvanji and unfortuntaley its not the same anymore, plus my face doesnot look fresh, and the mistake was that rather than taking it in a limited qunatity(since it is said to have a very "garam taseer" according to ayurvedha. i took a lot). i later told my mother and she scolded me for not asking her before using it, never ever use it in excess. upto7 "danay" should be enough. learn from my mistake. by the way kalvanji oil is really good for thin hair but again upto 10 drops only, you don't have to dreanch you hair into it, just a bit on the roots. that's it.

Re: Black Seed used for healing

its called black caraway in english, in case you are not in Pakistan.

Re: Black Seed used for healing

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm DONT use a fistful of zeera (cumin) in your food for cooking...it will give u a loose stomach.... :(
