Black Seed Tea Benefits and Side Effects




Unfortunately, not a lot of people know about the benefits of black seed tea, black seed oil or just plain ole' black seed!

Black seed, also known as black cumin seed, is a very small seed, and the people that use it swear that it can treat everything and anything! Here are some of the benefits of black seed:

Increases milk supply for nursing mothers

Expels kidney stones

Treats hemorrhoids when taken as a powder and mixed with water

Increases sperm count

Relieves asthma

Strengthens fingernails

Adds luster to hair

Lowers high blood pressure

Helps with digestive issues

Get rid of worms in the body

and the list goes on........

There are no known side effects for black seed and it is very simple to make tea with it.

Pour hot water over a tablespoon of black seeds and let it sit for about 10 minutes, covered.

Then add your sweetner: honey, agave nectar, sugar.....whatever you like to make your tea sweet with!

Or you could always just purchase the tea already made in tea bags!

If you have a skin disease such as psoriasis or eczema, rub black seed oil on it to help it go away.

Black seed is also a great alternative to use in order to increase your milk supply if you don't want the side effects that come along with fenugreek, fennel, or blessed thistle. Just take 2 capsules 2 times a day.

To get any of the benefits of black seed, take black seed oil in gel capsules, or plain black seeds in capsules. Or drink it in tea form.
