Black Seed: A cure for Every Disease
In a hadith narrated
by Abu Salamah on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (May
Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be
upon him) said:
Use this black seed regularly, because it has a
'shifaa' (cure) for every disease, except death.
|
Black seed provides a rich supply
of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These ingredients play a key role
in daily health and wellness. They help to regulate the
metabolism, carry toxins to the skin's surface for elimination,
balance insulin levels, regulate cholesterol, improve body
circulation, and promote healthy liver function. A
deficiency in polyunsaturated fatty acids can lead to a wide
number of health problems including nervous system disorders,
uninhibited growths, and skin diseases. |

functioning of the digestive system. It is known that fibre in foods
assists the digestive system and also helps reduce the risk of some
forms of cancer. Nutritionists describe eating figs, which are rich
in fibre, as an ideal way of increasing one's fibre intake.
