Herbalist Note:
Black Cumin Seed Oil (Nigella sativa), often simply called Kalonji, is a revered herb with a history spanning millennia, prized for its Warm, Pungent, and Aromatic energetics. As an herbalist, I value this oil as a profound immunomodulator—it helps balance and strengthen the body's immune response rather than merely stimulating it, making it a powerful ally for long-term well-being. Additionally, its potent aromatic and bitter properties make it an excellent carminative for settling digestive upset and a strong anti-inflammatory agent for systemic support. I often recommend it as a daily oil taken by the spoonful to build resilience from the inside out.

Energetics: Warm, Dry, Pungent, Aromatic
