Wound healing

Black seed oil may be able to speed up the process of wound healing.

The exact science of how this works is not clear, but researchers theorizeTrusted Source it may also be connected to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of thymoquinone.

In addition, it also increases collagen formation. This, along with its cosmetic benefits, can help with wound healing.

Cancer

ResearchTrusted Source has shown that the thymoquinone in black seed oil can influence programmed cell death in several types of cancer cells. These include brain cancer, leukemia, and breast cancer cells.

However, much of the research on the effects of black seed oil on cancer uses cells rather than live humans, so researchers do not yet know how effective the oil may be to treat cancer in people.

Liver and kidney function

Research has also shown that the antioxidant properties of black seed oil can have a protective effect on both the liver and the kidneys.

There are several mechanisms by which this works. In one of the key processes, thymoquinone appears to reduceTrusted Source the level of oxidative stress, which is an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body.

Oxidative stress is associated with a variety of liver problems such as alcoholic liver disease, cirrhosis, liver damage caused by Tylenol, hepatitis, and others. It is also associatedTrusted Source with kidney problems such as chronic kidney disease and kidney toxicity.

A 2019 studyTrusted Source also shows that black seed oil may be helpful in reducing the size of kidney stones and eliminating kidney stones from the body.

Gastrointestinal problems

The anti-inflammatory properties of black seed oil may also help alleviate symptoms like indigestion, nausea, abdominal distention, bloating, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation.

Some clinical studies have shownTrusted Source that the oil may even have a preventive effect on colitis, pancreatitis, and other gastrointestinal disorders. However, more research is necessary to pin down the exact benefits of black seed oil in this area.

Hypertension

A 2016 meta-analysisTrusted Source has shown that black seed oil can help reduce hypertension (high blood pressure).

In this analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials, administering the supplement showed a reduction in both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure among participants.

On the other hand, a clinical trialTrusted Source focusing on older adults with high blood pressure found that the reduction in blood pressure among participants who received the supplement was not significant when compared with the placebo group.

It is important to note, however, that it is possible in some cases to experience low blood pressure as a result of usingTrusted Source black seed oil. Speak with a doctor before using it to reduce your blood pressure.

Diabetes

Black seed oil may have antidiabetic properties and improve blood sugar levels. A 2019 reviewTrusted Source of studies shows that the oil may help reduce a person’s blood glucose, hemoglobin, and insulin resistance.

This research suggests that it could be used as a treatment for type 2 diabetes along with conventional treatments.

Infertility

A 2014 clinical trialTrusted Source in men with abnormal sperm and infertility has found that black seed oil may improve sperm movement and increase sperm count and semen volume.

The findings of a more recent 2018 studyTrusted Source on male mice confirm that the key ingredient thymoquinone can help boost the quality, motility, viability, and count of sperm cells.
