Pharmacist’s advice

Black seed oil has an intense taste. Start cautiously, monitor tolerance and follow the amount stated on the label. Taking a larger quantity does not guarantee a stronger benefit.

People using medicines for diabetes or high blood pressure should monitor their values and seek medical advice before use. Do not independently reduce or stop prescribed medication.

Do not use without medical approval when taking blood-thinning medication, preparing for surgery or living with a bleeding disorder.

For topical use, first test a small amount on the inner forearm. A natural product can still cause an allergic reaction.

Black seed oil is not a treatment for allergy, asthma, infection, diabetes or cancer. Persistent or severe symptoms require diagnosis and appropriate medical care.

Stop use and seek urgent medical help if facial swelling, breathing difficulty or a widespread allergic reaction occurs.
