"Black seed oil is a supplement extracted from the seeds of Nigella sativa, also known as black cumin. Nigella is a flowering plant native to parts of Europe, northern Africa, and Southwest Asia. Renowned in Arab and Islamic cultures as 'the cure to all sickness', black seed oil is rich in antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties and contains a high amount of anti-apoptotic (preventing cell death) properties. This makes it effective in treating inflammatory skin conditions that can lead to infections, and cause skin cells to turn over too rapidly (resulting in scaly plaque formations), like eczema."
