Download or read book Black Seed Oil written by Dr John Tyler and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black seed oil is the oil obtained from black seeds. These are tiny, incredibly black colored seeds which are commonly called "black cumin". That is why black seed oil is also called black cumin seed oil. Black seed oil has been used in Ancient Egyptian and Middle East civilizations for its amazing medicinal qualities. This oil was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, the famous boy Pharaoh. The inclusion of black seed oil to be kept in his grave in that massive pyramid just goes to show how important, or maybe even sacred was black seed oil to the Ancient Egyptians.In terms of nutrition, black seed oil is different from other common oils, like coconut oil, olive oil and even from essential oils. That may be the reason behind its astounding versatility as medicinal oil.SourceBlack seed oil comes from the black seeds. The biological name of these seeds is "Nigella sativa". This oil is therefore also called nigella sativa oil. There are many other names for the black seed, namely black cumin, Roman coriander, and fennel flower. Less common names are nutmeg flower or black caraway. Another common name for this seed is kalonji which comes from India. So, it is regionally referred to as kalonji oil.The famous prophecyBlack seed is associated with a famous prophecy by Prophet Mohammad. A later reference tells us that he once said" There is healing in black seed for all diseases except death." Modern research is beginning to open the avenues to understanding more about this seed and its medicinal qualities. And whatever we have found until now is quite amazing. Just like the seed, black seed oil can be used to cure many health conditions and provide excellent health benefits.

Book Plant and Human Health  Volume 2

Download or read book Plant and Human Health Volume 2 written by Munir Ozturk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early anthropological evidence for plant use as medicine is 60,000 years old as reported from the Neanderthal grave in Iraq. The importance of plants as medicine is further supported by archeological evidence from Asia and the Middle East. Today, around 1.4 billion people in South Asia alone have no access to modern health care, and rely instead on traditional medicine to alleviate various symptoms. On a global basis, approximately 50 to 80 thousand plant species are used either natively or as pharmaceutical derivatives for life-threatening conditions that include diabetes, hypertension and cancers. As the demand for plant-based medicine rises, there is an unmet need to investigate the quality, safety and efficacy of these herbals by the “scientific methods”. Current research on drug discovery from medicinal plants involves a multifaceted approach combining botanical, phytochemical, analytical, and molecular techniques. For instance, high throughput robotic screens have been developed by industry; it is now possible to carry out 50,000 tests per day in the search for compounds which act on a key enzyme or a subset of receptors. This and other bioassays thus offer hope that one may eventually identify compounds for treating a variety of diseases or conditions. However, drug development from natural products is not without its problems. Frequent challenges encountered include the procurement of raw materials, the selection and implementation of appropriate high-throughput bioassays, and the scaling-up of preparative procedures. Research scientists should therefore arm themselves with the right tools and knowledge in order to harness the vast potentials of plant-based therapeutics. The main objective of Plant and Human Health is to serve as a comprehensive guide for this endeavor. Volume 1 highlights how humans from specific areas or cultures use indigenous plants. Despite technological developments, herbal drugs still occupy a preferential place in a majority of the population in the third world and have slowly taken roots as alternative medicine in the West. The integration of modern science with traditional uses of herbal drugs is important for our understanding of this ethnobotanical relationship. Volume 2 deals with the phytochemical and molecular characterization of herbal medicine. Specifically, It will focus on the secondary metabolic compounds which afford protection against diseases. Lastly, Volume 3 focuses on the physiological mechanisms by which the active ingredients of medicinal plants serve to improve human health. Together this three-volume collection intends to bridge the gap for herbalists, traditional and modern medical practitioners, and students and researchers in botany and horticulture.
