THE POWERFUL COMBINATION OF BLACK SEEDS AND HONEY

It is mentioned in the Bible as the curative ‘black seed’. Archeological studies report that black cumin seeds have been found in several sites from ancient Egypt, including in the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh, Tutankhamun. This powerful seed was also used by the Asians, the Persians, and the Romans for culinary and medicinal purposes. 

Black Seeds are famous for their healing properties. They contain things like: 

• linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid) and palmitic acid (most commonly found in palm oil and butter)
• amino acids, arginine (great for circulation and oxygen to our cells)
• aspartate, and glutamate.
• iron, copper, zinc, phosphorus, thiamin, niacin, pyridoxine, folic acid, and calcium

HONEY

In the Holy Qur’an honey is mentioned as a healing for mankind: “There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for mankind. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.” Surah Nahl 

In one hadith our Prophet Muhammad saws: “Make use of the two cures: Honey and the Quran” (Sunan Ibn Majah)

Prophet Solomon A.S was reported to have said: “My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.” – Proverbs 24:13

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, honey (Feng Mi) has a balanced character – containing neither ‘yin’ nor ‘yang’ – and is therefore important in restoring or maintaining your ‘vital energy’ or Qi.
